Hallmark no. 2 of the McDermott era: players stagnate or go backwards. No one ever seems to improve.

Do you remember a while back when he said that we'll have our run. I'm beginning to wonder if we have had it now: 3 super league games and one Challenge Cup game?

2 weeks ago I was hopeful of a top 8 slot now im looking at whats below

Bottom 3 looms IMO. To compete for a top 6 finish as we used to, or a top 8 as we now need to, the squad requires depth and this is something it lacks.
Positions 1 to 13 need cover, but it would seem Mac moves players out of position to cover for missing players. Purdo is a loose forward.........play him there. Clubbwas capped at centre........stop playing him amywhere else. Dorn fills in well at FB, but Curtis was capped by GB at Full Back......
As I have been away and have only seen highlights or one or 2 Sky games, does anyone fancy naming 26 current Quins Squad players......2 in each position. No repeating names.....the first 13 in their preferred/best position (see above), the second 13 the same if possible. If a player in the second 13 HAS to be played out of position as cover, put their normal position in brackets.

Its amazing, from New Zealand you can see that Clubb is playing in the second row, yet I attend the games and see that he has been playing at centre, and has been for literally EVERY game this season. How many times do I need to tell you? Once again against Hull KR, Clubb played CENTRE.

Oh don't be so pedantic
