The stench of death hovers over Harlequins RL

Quote: Quin Eagle "I'm not sure where the season has gone horribly wrong?

When we won away at HKR on a Friday night I thought we would definitely finish in the top 6 and even the top four if we had a half decent second half of the season, but how wrong I was with only 1 win in 12!!!!

I know we have had key players injured in the second half of the season, but so have all clubs, is it that our squad is so light on quality that we have no decent back-up players?
I think this may be the case as from the last few games a lot of our key players(and play makers at that) seem to be playing at 50% because they are carrying injuries i.e. Purdham, Orr, Randall.
To top that McCarthy-Scbrook has not looked the same player since his England call up and for the last few games is playing on one leg. Clubb is another who since actually playing for England has been poor and I'm sure he cannot blame that on any injury he may be carrying.
If players are injured then however poor the back-up players may be they should be played instead, at least as supporters we may be able to accept getting smashed at home nearly every week.

Our coaching (or lack of it) needs to be addressed without delay as it seems that we never have any sort of plan when attacking in the oppositions last 20, today was a case in point when we had as many if not more chances in their 20 than they did in ours yet they scored two tries and we did not even get close to scoring. Now whether getting rid of McDermott is the way to go, I'm not sure, but what we do need is an attack coach, and please don't tell me we have got one because if we have then I'm afraid who ever it is definitely needs the sack.

Bearing in mind we have already started to recruit for next season, if McDermott is going to go then it has to be in the next week or so, so that we can get a new coach in quick and allow him some time to recruit some players. I know that this may be a problem due to lack of revenue, but something needs to be done.

I have been watching the quins/broncos since the first time we played at the Valley and even the years we struggled I cannot remember a period like the second half of this season.

I'm not sure what is or who is to blame.....

Is the manger the problem?
The players?
Injuries?
Lack of Depth/Quality?
Lack of support or financial backer?

Whatever it is someone needs to sort it before next season otherwise come the time for the new franchise application I fear that quins rl could disappear for ever!!!

That is my rant/ramblings over sorry to bore you all!!!!'"
