Yup - he was mostly predictable and his box kicks invariably
resulted in the ball coming back at us, whereas Tigers
boxes/up-n-unders put us under pressure. And the speed of
thought/service from back of the scrum was slo-mo. DC also
missed a few opportunities of blind side moves that may well
have caught Tigers out.
Pretty poor game all round, but glad of the 4pts.

Thought Cares game was OK most dangerous player but his kicking
was very poor either too short or misdirect setting up attacking
opportunities for Tigers. I thought yellow card was fair,
whatever you do now you cannot end up hitting a player in the
head as Clifford did even if you were already in the air. I
agree with that rule as player welfare has to be 100%. There was
no way he was going to charge down the kick so why launch
yourself at the player like that.
Finally when will a Quins team stop making silly errors after a
period of good play losing all Momentum. Happened constantly
last night again sooooo frustrating.

Maybe Clifford thought he was trying to kick the ball back over
his shoulder.

Since when did we decide to stop playing the Quin’s way?
Care was excruciatingly slow and his (dreadful) kicking suggests
our wonderful back line would be best used defending against
Tigers backs than cutting through them. I really hope this isn't
a Gustard instruction.
Against a witless, going-nowhere team that’s 2nd from bottom and
showed nothing all game, the final insult was to let them get
their ill-deserved bonus point through. At home and in the last
game of the season we should be spanking the opposition - not
gifting them points through horrible indiscipline.
No wonder the send-off was muted – Luke Wallace et al deserved
better – but this hollow, hugely disappointing victory spoiled
that.

Speaking of the ‘Quins way’, our best move was probably in the
first minute when we actually saw some dangerous offloading and
good support lines that could (probably should) have been a try.
There was the odd flash (the interplay with Dombrandt and
Sinckler springs to mind) but we need Smith to run the team, not
Care.
I think Landajo is more of a passing 9 which could be good for
Marcus.
Saili and Campagnaro love an offload so I’ve not given up hope
that PG likes a little bit of jouet when it’s on.

I'm looking forward to what a Landajo-Smith-Saili-Marchant-Earle
line can do to defences next season!

The very last thing we need is the “Quins way”.
We need to win.
Ether way Tigers are total dross, lord knows they don’t deserve
to stay up. We got dragged down to their appalling level.
Their dressing room is clearly even more buggered than ours was
under Kingston.

Yeah there’s some Big issues there for sure. There just didn’t
seem to be much camaraderie at all from their player, nothing
like the Leicester sides of the past. This will be the first
time they’ve ever finished outside the top 6.
We weren’t brilliant but got the result. Allowing them to get
that try and the LBP was annoying as it all stemmed from a daft
penalty. Also, the Quins way. What is it really? It seems to
have meant a number of things over the years.

Any idea if we might be looking at Crumpton and Saili being back
for Wasps?

By 'Quins Way' I meant:
fast not slow and time wasting
forward - not static and sideways
ball in hand - not gifting possession for no gain
a little bit risky - not conservative
On all the 'nots' Leicester have excelled all season, and last
night we copied them.
On that last point, I'm happy to see things tried and not come
off - that's the risk. Instead we got indiscipline and basic
skills errors.
Separately, my only criticism of Barnes was that he should have
done more about the time-wasting and not just wave his arms
around.
