Gallagher PREM 2026/27 squads rated: Harlequins
Harlequins appear to be relying heavily on their academy graduates stepping up, although the return from injury of several frontline players will be a huge boost.

Happy with that. I think they've vastly underrated our younger guys, and that suits me fine. I suspect our underdogs will surprise a few teams.

The fly half rating significantly under estimates Bellamy, based on what he's shown in the Prem Cup. His place kicking needs some work but his overall game seems very similar to Marcus's, which should mean the team can keep playing the same way if he has to slot in.

A lot depends on if we can keep Baxter and Waghorn fit (or, to be fair, if Kerr can mix it physically at 12)

Rated us lower than last season, which is a bit harsh, but there we are. I hope we can overperform what people are expecting. I know we don't quite have the physical pack of some teams, but I think we've got enough to be competitive.

Bellamy from everything I've seen would be a better FB than a 10

From what I have seen from Bellamy (both at Quins and L.S.) -
- he is pretty quick, elusive and makes plenty of line breaks
- he doesn't pass the ball once he has made a break

Basically, he tries to do too much on his own.

He is young and quite a talent and I hope that his areas of weakness can be worked on.

From what we saw of Hobson last season, I don't think we'll need to rely so much on Baxter. Add the rest of our front row stock and I feel much more confident this season.

IIRC that could be applied to another Quins FH at one stage in his career and he didn't turn out too bad....
