four trundles and a knock-on

I belive Quins need some fresh eyes. We need a hungry coach from Australia. Nathan Brown was a fairly average coach in the NRL and look what he's done for Huddersfield. It appears that British coaches are not expansive enough.

I don't want to jump on the Brian Out bandwagon as I've always backed him, but the way this season has turned out I think there's something in what you say about a hungry Aussie coach. Its not just BM, you've got the likes of Agar at FC and Macnamara at Bulls who are British coaches and compare them to the likes of Potter, Morgan and Brown. Everyone slaggged off Hudds / Brown's playing style at first but they're in the CC Final and have the playoffs too. Maybe our team or our coach doesn't have enough 'mongrel' in them. Whatever it is it doesn't look like the current crop of British coaches are able to keep up with their Aussie counterparts!

its a tough league full of good sides. we've underperformed and are where we deserve to be. whether its the coaches fault or the players im not sure.

Most of our loses come from fundamental errors and you cant blame the coach for them.

The negative rugby you can.

I have said it before and I will say it again, at times our attack is so flat with the play the ball we look like we are defending team - not the attacing side.



V Bradford the other week at times the teams were so close they could sniff each others backsides at the play the ball.



We need to stand deeper to give our forwards a chance to run on to the ball at speed and also create room for Puro, Orr and Dorn. It also gives Randall more to aim at.



We started the season standing deeper, we peaked at HKR at the end of June and slowly as the season draws on we have shallowed up the attack more and more.



I cannot remember a more dull and boring second half to a season in nearly 35 years of watching the game.



I know we haven't been a flambouyant side (since Ross Strudwick and the Crusaders days at Barnet) but we have never been this dull - reminds me of Bradford in the final winter years stuck in the mud of Odsal.



Recruitment / promote from reserves -



Winger with pace - and I mean real pace to go on the outside.



Second Row with pace - we need a Lee Hopkins type



2 x front row to support Ward, Tamata, LMS



Outs



Heckingberg

Gaffa (or move to second row)





Positional changes



Clubb in to the centre berth (alongside Howell).



Compare Clubb's long run at centre last year with mixing positions this season in amongst the forwards, not contest - this year he has looked a shadow of last season. He wants to be a centre - so let him have a full season at it and coach / work on his passing and vision. He has the size and pace.

I agree with all you say apart from above and ...







If he wants to be a centre put him in the reserves to work on his passing / vision else give him a go in the front row, he has the size and a good work rate.

Clubb will never be a to class centre.



We played some good stuff at Brentford- Marty, Tommy, Dorn etc

Yeah we played some good stuff that last Broncos season we got to the play offs. Lee Hopkins was also important as well as the 'golden triangle', don't feel the club has found a decent replacement for him ie a strong running second rower.

Nor Marty sadly, what a player.

According to Rammo on BBC London Mac is as safe as houses and there is no chance of him being replaced......

And, regardless of all the yes/no votes in Listys little campaign, I suspect the yes vote from the club.......is the one that counts.



So, is it more of the same in 2010?

Paul Cullen backed him unquestionable on Boots N All last night. Apparently our terrible form and abysmal home record is down to missing Chad Randall for a couple of games. Dismal excuse 1/10

Sounds like it from hearing the podcast, from Brian:

- Nothing dramatic will happen in the close season, there will be no clean out of players

- We have a group of people to build on

- We have an “inner steel” mentality which Brian is proud of
