On paper perhaps. I'm totally against it, but Jones needs to earn his spot IMO. I wouldn't immediately be shifting Marchant from his best position to accommodate him coming in at 13.

The back three is going to be interesting for Quins next season. Green deserves to keep his spot at 15 and on balance, Lynagh is probably our best wing. The second wing spot will likely be a battle between David, Murley and Morris who are all a bit underrated IMO.

Jones has apparently only been signed as a backup and on pennies.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

We'll see.
People like to fling the term pennies around pretty loosey with these signings at times.
Like Sale Signed Manu for "Pennies".

Granted this does sound more like a 1 year patch over for both Quins and Jones.

on pennies? For a scottish International? Surely there must be some budget for him as i can't imagine it will be for free. I will say this, he's best friends with a few guys i know from school and imagine he's excited to be around them,

A very last minute move because the French move fell through so I'd imagine that's knocked a few quid off the top. Idk tho

He'll be fighting for that 23 shirt with Northmore I'd imagine

Jack Walker to Quins also confirmed

13. Lawrence
14. Ashton?
15. Nanai

 

[will311293]

Alfie B at 12 has sneaked in

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Well not like he is a hooker currently anyway

 

[Geordie]

Falcons release a few more: Mike Daniels, Jon Welsh and Tom Arscott....

We have a good summer for transfers and clearing out the deadwood. Add in the academy prospects and Im actually really pleased with our squad this season....strongest we've had for years.....

We just need to get them to gel and try to play in the style we saw flashes of towards the end of the season.

 

[Geordie]

i see former Worcester Lock Christian Scotland Williamson is joining Quins next season after 3 years with Pittsburgh Steelers.

Hes a big physical presence to add to their engine room...28 Year old, 6'9 and 19.5 stone.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Leicester sign Jersey loosehead Daniel Richardson

 

[big ginger 8]

Big loss for Benetton.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Can't remember if it was confirmed before or just heavily rumoured but Kieran Brookes has said he's off to Toulon

 

[BPM]

Big loss for Benetton.

Yes. Didn't know his younger brother was a scrum half until I saw the U20 game today.

A family 9/10 combo would be nice for the Italians.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Tigers sign England U20 Dan Lancaster

Oly can you delete all my post history please?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Stuart arriving when, then?


Do you think you'll try and point him towards playing 10?
There's a gap there, and you're pretty set for centres - especially with Kelly so young (and playing the same position DL played for the u20s)

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

I suspect so.
As you say we do have a gap there.

9. Youngs, JVP, Wigglesworth
10. Ford, Burns, lancaster
11. Potter, Van Wyk, Olowofela
12. Kelly, Scott, Socino
13. Moroni, Porter, Taute
14. Nadolo, Murimurivalu, Browning
15. Steward, Hegarty, Worth

It's a decent backs squad.
Kinda missing a top finisher though.
