Really?
In the Luke Wallace thread, I said:
"He’s been a loyal player, for which we should be grateful.
But I agree - he is no longer good enough for the premiership. I
never expect to see him in the matchday 23, leaving aside dead
rubbers in the premiership cup, for example. Looking at other
squads in the league, I struggle to see the situation being
different elsewhere."
I then said:
"And yet the suggestion that he is no longer premiership quality
gets shot down completely. As I said above, he was a fantastic
player for us. But I can’t see him regularly making a match day
23 for any of the teams in the league. That takes nothing away
from his previous service."
Why let facts get in the way eh

He is 100% premiership quality. Cliche but true... form is
temporary and class is permanent. Even allowing for injury he's
not been afforded the opportunities over the past year or so.
If he can put a good season in he'll be back in the premiership
in absolutely no time whatsoever.

He was a very good player, he wasn't so good since coming back
from injury, but that could easily have risky finished his
career. Personally I hope he finds some form and makes his way
back into the premiership.

Then it wasn’t you.
I dont care at all that Wallace went, he wasn’t up to it post
injury sadly for him.
But someone suggested he was always shite which is clearly
nonsense.

When he was good, he was really good, but even pre-injury there
were some questions about his positional play; post-injury he
never looked like the player he was in his prime. A spell with
Cov might do him a lot of good - give him a chance to get back
to full fitness, and back into the form he used to have. Either
way, from a Quins perspective we have many better alternatives
now, so for the club this is the right move. Hope he does well.

"Form is temporary, class is permanent" doesn't really apply to
your average club player. He wasn't at the same level as guys
like Robshaw, Brown, Care, etc

Lucky he's not an average club player then.
I agree he's not at the same level as Robshaw etc. now but there
was certainly a time when he was and was being talked about by
several pundits in terms of international selection.
Injuries do horrible things to confidence, mentality and
ultimately form. I've no doubt he'll be back in the Premiership
soon.
