Since we don't have much Quins rugby for the next few weeks, I though maybe some contract speculation might be entertaining.

According to the squad list post (https://comeallwithin.createaforum.com/index.php?action=ezportal;sa=page;p=15) and ignoring those we now are leaving, the following last signed contracts in 2021 or before so might be out of contract at the end of this season:

Marler
Hobson (academy)
Musk (academy)
Head (academy)
Jibulu (academy)
Lawday
Kennngham (academy)
Taulani
Alikhan (academy)
Steele
Murray (academy)
Smith (was a "long-term" deal in 2021)
Hyde (academy)
David
Morris
Lynagh
Oresanya (academy)
Cleaves (academy)

A fair few there that I'd hope we can keep! Smith (if the contract isn't for longer already), Marler, Kenningham, David and Lynagh at the top, then at least some of the hookers and maybe Lawday and Steele. Hyde and Cleaves also look like good academy prospects, maybe others will know the academy in more detail.

Wow, Oresanya? He's right up there with Cleaves IMO.

Yeah - it is a bit harsh on Alikhan too.
Typically, we need loads of back rows - so I am not sure why you would bin one of the academy ones

As fans I don't think we know enough about Alikhan though. He's still in uni so well under our radar. I remember our last flanker who went to uni and then burst onto the scene.

I assume you mean Alex ? Also, look at the last centre we signed from Cardiff Uni !!!!!

If I were to reorder that list into a renewal priority list, it would look something like:

Smith
Marler
Kenningham
Lynagh
Lawday
David
Head
Musk
Cleaves
Hyde
Murray
Jibulu
Hobson

Wouldn't mind if released:

Morris
Steele
Taulani
Alikhan
Oresanya
