How long do you think Danny can keep playing and who could replace him?

I can't really see any English player in the super league coming to Quins.

Clubb, Gale, Gardner, Graves, Grayshon, Haggerty (born in England before you moan), Kaye, May, Mbu, LMS, Melling, Nanyn, O'Callaghan, Orr, Purdham, Sharp, Ward, Wells and Williams are all English so its not like they would be the odd one out.

QRL is a very attractive proposition and its just a case of will a player take the plunge and move down to the Smoke?

No what I meant was an established English Scrum Half with the same or better quality than Danny. Luke Gale is not going to be ready for years to come I think.

Why are scrum halves less likely to come south ? Are they any more likely to be mummy's boys than props ? If a scrum half is established in SL they are likely to same or better quality than Danny Orr IMO.

Well the options are:

Sean Long - No
Michael Dobson - Overseas Quota
Rob Burrow - No
Luke Robinson - Yes (looks like he is going to be replaced)
Danny Brough - Maybe
Chris Thorman - Maybe
Brent Sherwin - Overseas Quota
Thomas Leulai - Overseas Quota
Michael Monaghan - Overseas Quota
Paul Deacon - No
Shane Perry - Overseas Quota
Richie Myler - No
Jace Van Dyke - Overseas Quota

So really it looks like Luke Robinson or nothing!

No, those are the current encumbants in the SL teams, there are plenty of juniors being kept out of a first team place, any how we don't have to replace Danny anytime soon.

Don't think so he couldn't get away fast enough last time. Did us no favours, told me he didn't like being down here and we don't understand what it is like to move from family and friends. My orignal hometown was 3 miles from his and I was only 21 when I moved south, so think I do understand. If you want it enough you can be happy, ask Purdham and Wells. I wouldn't like to see him back.

Thorman seems out of place at Hull FC anyway.

I would like us to try and go for Kyle Eastmond I really like the look of him and I think he could be a good signing for us, if you think Danny doesn't seem to be at full fitness this year and if he is injured Kyle would be a great replacement.

That is never gonna happen is it. Lets hope this French lad on trial with us is the real deal. Seems to be doing well according to those who watch the reserves

I don't think it will take Gale years as someone said - maybe a couple. Also Dylan Skee has a couple of years on the French lad.

And probably the greediest git ive ever seen play in a London shirt!

That would explain why he went to Parramatta then.



Agree that I wouldn't want him back. Remember his last game for us, play-off at Saints. He got just about every 5th tackle decision wrong and put in some terrible kicks. I thought that TR should have taken him off at half time.

Richard Horne?

Luke Gale just needs game time, he's got the skills but needs to be more of an organiser/bossy.

against the "lesser" teams, but got found out every time we played a top 6 side.

Danny McGuire anyone?

French lad?

Easy now Paddock.

Thorman is a shocking player, i'd rather have Nanyn at stand off (honestly).

I am in agreement with you

Thorman wouldn't add anything to us at present and he has now been at 3 clubs in 5 years since he left us.....something isn't right.....and Hull FC fans aren't too pleased with him at present either.
I also agree with your evaluation of Dorn......and it's not even opening time yet

Eastmond

Yes Please. If he is getting itchy feet by not getting a game at Saints, we could take him on a years loan.
He is a real prospect and if Potter wants to keep him, it will be harder for other northern clubs to "tap him up" is he's 200 miles away.

aye cos the phone lines, mobile masts and broadband connections are all fooked once past Birmingham ain't they

See Reserves Game thread

YEP....and I can get the 12 bore out for those pesky pigeons too

Not gonna happen

Not even on a 1 year loan?
