Interesting exercise?

Too much can be made of injuries / unavailability and yes squad
strength is important. But if you were writing down your own
best starting 23from the current squad if everyone available how
many were in yesterdays 23?
My number is 8 . I would suggest that once you get into single
figures virtually any club will struggle in any Premiership
game.

Clubs also struggle when senior players play like total jessies.

So my best Quins 15 would be;
1. Marler
2. Elia
3. Sinckler
4. Lewies
5. Symons
6. J.Chisholm
7. Robshaw
8. Dombrandt
9. Care
10. Smith
11. Ibitoye
12. Tapuai
13. Marchant
14. Earle
15. Brown
So I have 5 of my best 15 who started yesterday, that’s pretty
damning.
Apparently DC didn’t train all week and probably wouldn’t have
made the 23 if we had others available.
I still think we are missing the point with the injuries. It
doesn’t just affect games, the squad can barely train 15 on 15
and if we are drafting in outsiders to make up numbers they are
not likely to be of the standard we need. Christ before I had to
have my appendix out a week ago I was arranging with the club to
go help at training, even if to hold tackle bags and get
smashed. But the mere thought they were interested in me going
shows how desperate we are as a club. If our training is not up
to standard then how do we expect our game performances to be.

I totally agree on the injuries impacting training. My question
is why we seem to have these crises almost every single season.
Is it conditioning, training approach, the type of players we
have, issues in physio and recovery?

We are not the only ones who suffer with injury. Maybe other
sides just handle it better, maybe we are too reliant on certain
players being fit.

Other teams don't go into full on panic mode. It's the "kick as
soon as possible, force it don't build" mentality that did for
us at the end of that game, along with the basics such as line
out. How many leaders were there on the pitch yesterday? Evans
looked the most vocal.

Mike Brown? He has some experience of being captain.
Might be a reward for possibly his last season.

Possible, Id rather us look to the future with someone younger
tbh. Could depend what signings are to come in.
