Quinlan was very good under the high ball, but as Pete says avoided contact wherever possible and made next to no yards on kick returns. SMD was a touch better but still he's a very, very average player. Neither are good enough to be here longer than needed and should not be given new contracts.

Quinlan covered a position for us but he's not good enough IMO.

He looked solid under the bomb and his support play got him over the line a few times for us but he struggled in other areas IMO. He didn't threaten the opposition with his kick returns and defensively he was too rushed with his one v one decision making. He was beaten too easily, too frequently IMO. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt if he was brilliant in attack but as I say, his kick returns were consistently poor and despite a few nice touches, his vision coming into the line wasn't up to standard I'd expect for a club who are serious about winning trophies.

Nothing about our recruitment suggests that we are.

You said similar when you thought Wakey's backline was better than ours though

Well I see that saddened is back on track.

All is woe.
