I also don’t get the impression that the owners are that fussed about performance as long as we don’t get relegated. Now the threat of that is pretty much gone i don’t see much intent from anyone to win or drive things forward.

This season is the first one I’ve seen quite a lot of comments on SM about not renewing…I know that’s not a fair sample but I think people are slowly wising up to the idea paying a lot of money for a product you don’t enjoy isn’t worth it. The kick off time issue is at least made a bit better if you know you’ll get a good game

Well I'm hoping this year that my wife finally relents and we can give up our STs. But it's the kick off times that are the killer for us. If they were better, i.e. not too late, and Richmond College parking was still available I suspect we'd renew, although happily would be a stretch.

Corrected 😂

I agree, it wasn't an engaging watch at all. 😁

You and I may think that but ticket sales might suggest otherwise, apparently.

I'm slightly undecided on how to rate dalrymple. He's always spoken well and the club certainly seemed to be on a good footing and achieving regular sell outs.

On the other hand, he's overseen some dreadful coaching appointments, was in part responsible for the poor handling of mike brown's departure, which I think can reasonably be classed as a poor decision in hindsight. He's overseen a clear reduction in quality in the squad. Big summer kick off hasn't really taken off properly. Marler and others seem unimpressed. The finances seemingly haven't improved as expected.

I think that the squad that played Quins was the full squad. They had maybe 26 or 28 players.

You know, if we get Mapletoft, I'll be okay. Obviously I'd like a top coach, but it doesn't look like we're getting one, and we need *someone* at the top. If he's allowed to sack parts of the failing coaching team and find good replacements and he's allowed to recruit well, it's got to be better than what we're going through now.
I agree, although not my favourite choice by any means, if we wait until the last minute we can totally write off next season.

The new coach needs to be able to decide the coaching and playing lineup for next season as much as they can.

At the moment we are like a drifting ship, with no captain.

I am told England Under 19's lost 31-40 to Japan Under 19s.

Not sure how close the squad playing Quins was to full strength.

We’ve been here before.  We’ve had a worldwide search that resulted in a massively disappointing outcome.  For a brief moment I had some hope but that quickly evaporated.  It’s quite something to take the history, assets and talent of our club and make it so undesirable but am I surprised it looks like yet more years of inconsistency?  Not in the slightest.
