You gave a scoring pass in a two-on-one in the Quins game, although you did look very, very long and hard at whether you could step inside and go yourself, before grudgingly giving it out to the unmarked winger in 20m of space, 30m from the line.Mikey Brown wrote:Anyone fancy giving some updates?
Saw a little bit of the Saints/Tigers came but that was it. Actually saw Hartley run (sort of) at one point! Quins actually scored some tries which is nice to see, but not fooling myself we'll do that consistently. Not sure which games were even televised. Anyone catch the Exeter Crusladers v Sharks game?
You also scored a try after refusing to give it out to the unmarked winger in 20m of space, 30m from the line but making the most of a weak attempt at a tacklePuja wrote:You gave a scoring pass in a two-on-one in the Quins game, although you did look very, very long and hard at whether you could step inside and go yourself, before grudgingly giving it out to the unmarked winger in 20m of space, 30m from the line.Mikey Brown wrote:Anyone fancy giving some updates?

Hartley looked okay, but the outstanding performances from the Saints/Tigers game came from Genge and Lawes, who were both on top form. The former crushed Brookes in the scrum, not through strength but through devious tricks, winning 5 penalties to 0. He's been working on his game that lad.

You also made a lovely break out of nothing, set up a three man overlap, drew the full-back and then crashed straight into him (Quins did score off the next phase though). Overall, probably your best game for Quins in a while, but you did make your wingers cry more than once.Peej wrote:You also scored a try after refusing to give it out to the unmarked winger in 20m of space, 30m from the line but making the most of a weak attempt at a tacklePuja wrote:You gave a scoring pass in a two-on-one in the Quins game, although you did look very, very long and hard at whether you could step inside and go yourself, before grudgingly giving it out to the unmarked winger in 20m of space, 30m from the line.Mikey Brown wrote:Anyone fancy giving some updates?

But will the new rules scupper him? I thought I'd read that somewhere
Yes, agreed. I was praising him last week. If Eddie were to overcome his objections to Robshaw at 7 maybe they'd be good either side of Billy or Hughes.TheNomad wrote:Watson looking pretty good at 15 I reckon
Anyway, the latest player to declare his interest in playing for the Red Rose (and inciting the hatred of the many on here) is Rhodes at Sarries.
Leaving aside the argument about whether he should - I happen to think he'd walk into the side at 6 at present. He's absolutely brilliant in my opinion.

A lack of rationality in some cases, perhaps? Certainly not impartial opinion anyway. Just imagine how some would deal with Hughes, Solomona and Rhodes in the same XV!Banquo wrote:seriously? Hatred?TheNomad wrote:Watson looking pretty good at 15 I reckon

Do you think Hughes was unfairly criticised then? Or solomona's recent play? I have no principled objection to their playing for England, but neither have I got an uncritical eye.Oakboy wrote:A lack of rationality in some cases, perhaps?
