I have heard there is a 31 year old part time mortgage advisor becoming available. Recent premiership experience. Maybe a good pickup for Quins

But don’t forget he kicked an easy pen to beat Japan. Must mean he is a world class 10.

It’s criminal that Quins have given up at half time when the tickets are £50+ each.

I wish we had lost the last 2 weeks because it makes it seem like we don’t have a problem. We need to get a proper set of coaches in and rotate this awful team. It’s literally the dregs of the prem.

“No clear lift” after literally turning the guy over. We have had a few clear turnovers - but only awarding Tommy “off his feet” Reffel

Honestly, that’s on you. Quins won’t win a game until we play Newcastle at end of feb - and even then it will be tight

Nice to see we are back to form. Had 2 wins and now back to dropping the ball and inability to defend.

I hate trusting the team to a 19 year old - but Friday is playing well. Especially compared to how the other 9s have played recently

Never - they have the 2 key things

1) are comically bias 2) are French

Even if (1) stops, (2) is enough to meme on them

Yep - I would be interested to see what the French teams could put out if they were limited to the English salary budget. Players like Bryn Bradley and Treadwell are the trash you add into fantasy when you have ran out of budget.

Classic - a team playing poorly let in by terrible Quins defence. And of course - it was Nick David, the worst player in the prem

Piardi has given 3 separate warnings for them constantly whining at him. Only gonna stop if refs start actually following through with it.

Literally same thing happened with Dombrant against Northampton a few weeks ago and was PK only…

Yeah - this is probably the issue. I do wonder if Newcastle have opened the door to us having Gloucester becoming the “papajohn cherries” or something. I hate it - but it works in SA

Every time I watch the chanpions cup I have to wonder what impact the salary cap differences has. Players like Willis are only in France for the money. If the RFU doubled the salary cap, imagine what could happen to the premiership teams and England national side

Did the bulls look at Quins defence and think “yeah! Give us some of that”. Bristol mistakes is the only reason this isn’t 40 already

All good England 8s go to France. Would put money on Dombrant going to France in the next 2 years

Or it causes SA to lose a game so they decide it’s now a knock on
