I think we get the most out our players. Not many players leave Quins to go onto better things.

I can’t think of a former Quins players in past few years who has done better after they have left?

He left in 2010!

So daily mail saying Sinks is off to Bristol and we are trying to ease the pain of it by signing Nakarawa... interesting but anyone feel this isn’t a signing we need? Lewies & Symons have been great, then cuvabati, Freeman, young and Lamb are good mix when needed

I would be throughly underwhelmed if this signing was to make up the loss of Sinks, feel the money He would demand could be spent better. He is also 32 this year..... not sure that signals building to the future and after the impact of Goneva, I’m slightly worried by it. That being said, if it one of a few top players to come in then may understand it better

I take the point about Nakarawa’s age - he isn’t a long-term prospect. But I can see the logic in him as a partial replacement for Kyle. What Kyle offers is the combination of skills in the set piece and open play. We won’t get a like for like replacement, but we can expect to find a solid scrummager (potentially more consistent than Kyle, but he has improved hugely). What Nakarawa would bring is the same/better qualities in the loose - his ability to break the gain line and offload or keep going. Plus potentially more likely to see that more often (fewer international absences) and for longer (a second row is on balance more likely to play a full 80 mins than a front row).

He is a big unit!

I like the look of the SA centre.

It wouldn't take much for him to eclipse Saillis appearences in recent times

Got to think the following contracts are up:-

Nick A - gone
Lambert - ambassador or coaching role
Marler - worst case same terms but should be looking to reduce wage
Crumpton - reduced wage due to injury’s
Buchanan - Gone
Collier - gone
Sinckler - gone (his choice)
Swainston - gone
Symons - keep
Tex - keep
Robshaw - keep on reduced wage
Bothma - gone
Semi - gone
Saili - 1st on Gussy’s list to go & use the wage properly
Taps - keep
Lasike - keep as low wage
Earle - keep but on terms dependant on recovery from injury
Goneva - will be gone

Think we could see a few changes again this summer! Based upon last year I don’t think we will find out though for a few months!

I’ve added my predictions 😬
