Pity! And surprising really. Wonder why?

Damned shame.

is a shame, obviously not happy to be behind sinckler and collier in the pecking order but on evidence is definitely where he should be currently.

Next year could of been a big year for him in a quins shirt...

Can't say I'm bothered by this - Josh can't scrummage and offers nothing round the pitch. I wouldn't be surprised to see Sarries stick him on the Will Skelton diet and move him back to the backrow.

If a scrum coach can sort out his technique and conditioning guys can sort out his gait he could be a monster. All you have to do is look at his frame to understand his potential - it's not fat he's carrying like JJ used to, he's a certified beast. And he's 23 - plenty of time to sort those bits and pieces out and become a force.

I could be wrong but I highly doubt that Gussy wanted to let him go - someone suggested on the board recently that Josh was weighing up offers to leave versus what Quins could offer for him to stay, and that Gussy was trying to persuade him to stick around.

Agree, I cant really see what the fuss is about.  As said above, I reckon it is more than likely Quins did not offer him a new deal.

Or, it was a low ball offer  ;-)

Or it may not.

Fair enough for someone else to have a crack at sorting him out - but I just didn’t see it myself. He has zero scrum technique at the moment, he’s just big.
