Henry Taylor looking like another one that got away, although doubtless his time with the Sarries coaches served him better.

He did'nt really get away. If memory serves he decided rugby wasn't for him and left of his own accord and went to Loughbourgh Uni to study, Art I think. Played for Uni and came onto Sarries radar who offered to pick up his uni tab and bring him back into the fold. Did'nt realise he's gone to Saints though

I missed that announcement.

Great to see the rotation. On top of other comments above, it should also ensure that everyone is able to play with everyone - so when someone is injured/unavailable, their replacement will be able to step in seamlessly and the team will not falter.

p.s. I hardly recognise any of that Saints squad!

Arnie, I know you normally are spot on with your info but I would be surprised to see any of those 3 leave, others not so much so. 

As for last night, poor display.  Real lack of accuracy from Quins that really hurt us.  Gifted Saints points with dropped balls, intercepts and poor tackling.  I do think there has been a bit of knicker wetting with some of the comments on this thread though.  Yes, it was poor.  Its Quins, we always seem to have one of these performances in our back pocket ready to bring out every now and again. 

Codling going unsettling us - Well our line out has been useless for ages.  Crumpton can throw, no one else can consistently.  No real change for me.  Stuff like it being our worst performance etc, trust me, there has been plenty worse.  I understand the stuff about too many new faces and the rotation, but there were not really that many complaints when the team was announced.  Relegation, no chance but i do think anything less than top 6 will be a poor season.

As for next week, based on this season so far and who may be available, id be happy to see

I know.  Not writing him off, but based on Fridays performance he just looked slow and laboured.  Evans has to be involved.
