Nothing wrong with the squad depth.

It was the senior players that were the let down last night.

Tend to agree, but still can't knock the effort. Galea and Newton would have given anything for a line break along with others, but more importantly I think Justin let us down last night.

Also, I think a lot of us are discounting we played a good side in Harlequins last night. Nothing flashy, but built up good sets and showed us how to win the game without forcing the issue.

looks like your team are having a dip in form now, was going to come at some point, its how long it takes you to come out of it that matters...the good teams come out of it quickly

we have had ours and now coming good again

I think we got a number of thin gs wrong last night.

First of all I don't think we can play effectively with Galea and Newton playing next to each other.
We had no second row on the left so Jake was having to do too much defence and it also left Haynes fairly exposed.
There is sense in not throwing Haynes in at the deep end by not putting him in at full back but it is his natural position so a decision i disagreed with.


We are pretty light in the front row at the moment and this only gets worse with Fozzard having to play so many minutes. Wheeldon really threw his hat into the ring last night and looked like he could do a real job in the next few games.
As soon as we get Rhys and Vella back as well as a dewcent back line I think we will be back to our best.
We won't finish outside the top 4 imo which, as far as I'm concered, is only a real achievement if we back it up in the play-offs.

People who are soft.

Nothing further needed, grow some or get out of Craven Park

He got stuck in like he always does but he struggled to make inroads imo, as did Fozzard.

At least he gives it a go, there were people out there who looked like they wanted to be elsewhere.
Weak.

You know, I agree.

At least if your getting rattled with the scoreline, show some fight literally and take someone's head off.

Saying that though, if Fozzard would have battered Orr, which he could have done easily, Super Duper league would have given him a lengthy ban.

I think your forwrads got beat, which stopped Dobson and Cooke playing on the front foot which inturn cancelled out Galea and Newton running out wide, which is what they did very well at the Stoop.(Take a breath!)

I'm sure when your players come back you will start winning again

think thats spot on. last 3 games played behind a beaten pack

It is worrying that our pack is getting so dominated in recent games, our line speed for me has slowed right down and our willingness to show any enthusiasm.

Far to much one-man rugby played aswell last night.

and the old adage still rings true , it's the forwards who determine who wins - the backs by how many.

We were poor last night due to the pack been ineffective for the 2nd week running against a small Quins outfit. The kicking game been poor especially compared to the Quins, and giving away to many stupid penalties and piggy backing the opposition up the field.....
All in all BACK TO BASICS!

Does he? Last night was the same situation as Castleford away last season, when Fitzhenry was at full back and Gommersall on the wing, both players being played out of position.

Agreed. From the posts I have read so far, no-one seems to have given Harlequins any credit. They did everything right, nothing flash, nothing too experimental. They are doing the basics right and are not in a flase position. They remind me of Catalans last year and look how they did.
