[QUOTE="BPM, post: 830572, member: 59968"] Harlequins Par for the course really - consistently inconsistent. Our home form has been good but we've suffered some very embarrassing defeats on the road. Kingston and Mapletoft were uninspiring appointments that showed a real lack of ambition from the club. That's been matched by very average signings so our mid-table position is no surprise. Top performers: Kyle Sinckler - definitely maturing and becoming increasingly influential James Chisholm - really making a breakthrough at long last. His performances earlier in the season meant Clifford wasn't really missed. Joe Marchant - still a touch green, but his class is easy to see. Has made the 13 shirt his own and will be a key player for us moving forward Disappointments: Danny Care - I've always been a fan of Care's but he's been consistently poor this season and simply shouldn't be captain. Jamie Roberts - not the player we thought we were getting. Well past his best and if Harry Sloan or George Lowe were fit he'd be lucky to stay in the side. Signings - while other clubs are signing quality, international players we are signing average squad fillers on some bizarre 'Moneyball' type theory which clearly isn't working. Catrikalis and Bothma could be OK, but when Sale are being linked with players of Ford's calibre, for example, it hurts to be a Quins fan. Overall, I think 6th is about the best we can hope for and if we do achieve that, I'd argue that we'll owe a good bit of that to other teams around us being equally poor ... [/QUOTE]
