About 20 fewer tries conceded than last season. More tries
scored. Granted we’re not Sarries but a bit of a negative
analysis, no?
Replying to Quintron btw

Thinking about it, I blame Danny Cipriani for everything!
Talented, rich and handsome, yes, but he has knackered Quins for
2 seasons on the trot.
Last year his 14 man Wasps team destroyed us at home. Apart from
a win against Bath, we didn't recover. This season his Glaws
team ripped us apart at home. Apart from a win against Leicester
(and Wuss in Europe) we didn't recover!
Curse you Cipriani!
That said, good luck in the semis. Viva Glawster!

Well who would have thought there would be so much end of season
positivity having won only one from the last seven league games.
Is there another club with a worse final third of the season or
are we the worst club in the premiership on recent form?

I predicted 8th and would have been happy with 6th.
But the difference between 4th and 9th is basically bonus points
with none of those teams winning more games than they lost.
We played a awful lot of rubbish this season, even when we won
Unless there's a massive improvement at least half the English
teams in the RCC next season will just be making the numbers up.

Well done Paul Gustard and the team. We finished 5th and were a
losing quarterfinalist in the Challenge Cup. Best position in
the Premiership since we have been members (started 16/17) and
furthest in the Euro Cup since Runner Up in 16/17. In our short
time we have witnessed some fantastic Quins rugby wins and some
painful losses. We believe the nadir was reached last season
when we finished 10th and with the appointment of Gussy and the
coaching team the building blocks are now being put into place
which will see Quins becoming an even bigger and better force to
be reckoned with. Obviously there is disappointment at not
reaching the play-offs and the semi-finals, but I see a lot of
positivism already for next season. The hegemony of Exeter and
Saracens is not permanent, after all look at Bath, Wasps and
Leicester at the moment and I honestly believe that Quins will
be a big part in the new hegemony starting this October.

But that only makes sense if not competing would have any impact
on our ability to compete in the future. If we'd been humiliated
repeatedly by top opposition I might understand your position (
although I'd still strongly disagree), but we've very rarely
looked out of our depth. And even when we have (1st half
Clermont) we've turned it around and finished the stronger team.
I can buy this argument (although again I disagree) when it's
champions Vs challenge cup, but missing out on the playoffs
doesn't give us a chance elsewhere.
Do you think Watford fans and players would have preferred to
have lost in the semis?

Spot on. I'd rather make the playoffs and get pumped than not
make them. If we'd made it and Exeter thumped us I don't see why
that would have can't negative effect on us next season

We really made a mess of getting 4th place with the previous
losses in my opinion not this one game.

Indeed loosing 6 out of our last 7 is just not good enough if JK
oversaw that he would be lambasted and not congratulated

It’s been mentioned before but didn’t our run of poor form start
when all the decisions about who was in or out were made.
Unavoidable every year but a large number of leavers this year
seem to derail the form of the team. There were several points
in games that could have given us the extra point we needed over
the season even though it eventually came down to one metre of
the final kick of the season. On the up side we were joint
fourth, there were seven teams worse than us, we are in the
champions cup. We appear to have made some cracking signings
last year, hopefully some for next year.
