The lineout should normally have been taken back to the kicker's
position, and I think the ref had that covered, but Quins
mistakenly decided to take a quick one instead. So it was play
on.

Ah yes, that makes sense.
On another point, I was surprised we opted for the kick at posts
at the end. I thought a kick for the corner, followed by another
14man driving maul would be better.

Not much else to say about the season really. Should have walked
into the top 4.

Nah, I think it was on the edge of his range but the kick was
correct. It was a long way out to put the kick on the 5m, and
our lineout has been rubbish more than it's been decent this
season.

I have to agree I think taking the shot at goal was right with
Lang on the pitch. Had Smith been on we would have gone for the
corner and still had a lot of work to do.
The middle 40 lost us the game.
Still happy with 5th and Champions Cup rugby to look forward
next season. I’m inpatient to know where my weekend away will
be.

We lost the season due to our lineout... killed so many of our
games!

The lineout could be given as a reason, given individual
situations which could have got us over the line, but really I
think it was the mentality over the last 3rd of the season. How
often did we give up a seemingly unassailable lead and then
start playing and get within a score?

I can't help but think that phoning up 12 of the squad and
letting them know their contracts weren't being renew'd after
Christmas had something to do with it. Not the be and end all
but certainly can't have helped

Happens to most squads every year. Caveat being that it hasn't
really ever happened at quins in this era.

Agreed and had'nt thought of that either. My point was more the
manner of how it was done ie phone call
