Murley-Lynagh-Green
DIR By: G-Quin

Is it too early to say that our back three of
Murley-Lynagh-Green have the potential to eclipse our previous
premiership winning backline of Monye-Williams-Brown?
The pace and power of all three to be able to accelerate past
the first man is phenomenal. Some of the breaks by Cadan and
Tyrone with Louis' support lines were world class on Friday.
At 22, 20 and 23 respectively these young lads have a great
future at Quins if we can hold on to them.

Their sheer pace is incredible, and the support lines are
amazing. I'm loving watching it.

It's quite a different style of back three. Murley's a pretty
direct replacement for Williams, while Lynagh and Green are
quite different from Monye and Brown.
Lynagh doesn't have Ugo's outright pace, but I think he has a
better reading of the game and his talent for being exactly
where he needs to be is paying off in his scoring rate.
Brown at his peak had the edge in defensive solidity, control of
the game from the back field and security under the high ball
compared to Green today, but Green is a better counter-attacker
and broken field runner - and links with his supporting players
more (though that's true of 2021 Quins in general - the support
play is exceptional as Friday demonstrated again and again).
That said, they are so young as a combination that they have a
long time to improve. It will be interesting to see whether we
change how we use them as Morris and David come back into
contention, though. Green is still listed as a fly half, and I
think Murley has what it takes to play outside centre.

Difficult to judge.
On a sunny day in May, our current back 3 without a shadow of a
doubt.
Defending a 10-9 lead in the sodding rain, probably Brown, Monye
and Williams.

It’s hard to imagine the current crop ever having to defend at
10-9 lead, though. Rain or no rain.

I think our biggest test will be against Sarries. Historically
anyway; they’ve been a good tough unit to crack

I think peak Brown is Green's equal as a counter-attacker and
runner. Green is quicker with a better step, Brown ran better
lines and was essentially impossible to tackle - at times he'd
carry it back into five players and emerge the other side. Brown
also has the much better boot.
Some of the real youngsters on the edges of the squad (Cleaves,
Oresanya) could eclipse the current lot quite handily, which is
a little scary really!

I've certainly been impressed with what little I've seen of
Cleaves.
The other thing to bear in mind is that these players are some
way off their peaks - Brown at 23 would have been around 2010,
when he was sorting out his acceleration but still some way from
the player he was by 2016, when he had a very strong case to be
the best fullback in the world that year. I would say that
Murley and Green are certainly comparable to where Williams and
Brown were at the same age.
And for all that Ugo is a club legend (not a term I use
lightly), I think Lynagh is actually be ahead of him at the same
age - though admittedly Ugo was playing in a much weaker side
overall. 19 tries in 24 appearances is a phenomenal return.

Quins' maths on their website is all over the place. I believe
Lynagh's stats are 11 tries in 16 games.

Green is 23, Lynagh is 20, and Murley is 21. If we can keep
these three together and they develop a bond over the next 10
years or so, they will be ruthless and far exceed the combo of
Brown, Monye and Williams.
The entire team is exciting with a good number of them 23 or
younger! If these guys keep at it, they will easily be better
than the champions of 2012 and potentially can see further
championships plus maybe (hopefully) a Champions Cup and World
Club Cup (if it takes off).
