It will be interesting to see how squads are managed for next
season.
Take hooker - specific skill set.
But Quins have, Walker, Gray, Riley, Head and Musk.
Now if they loseGray, I can see them not replacing and then if
injury strikes, trying to pick up an out of contract player.
Better cap management, no? Walker is clear first choice, Riley
seems the next cab. Head and Musk, both have done well enough….

I think that's partly because Walker is new this season and
we've had very inconsistent lineout pairings this season - how
often have we started with Steph and Symo? Consistency makes a
big difference with lineouts, and for the level of change we've
had our lineout has been better than in previous years. I'd
expect it to be more consistent next season with Walker more
used to his jumpers.
On the other hand, our scrum is still right up there and our
mauling and maul defence improved so the direction of travel is
good.

By the way, Falcons fans are reporting that Deano is being
booted upstairs with Walder taking over and Mark Wilson
replacing Minty as defence coach.

I'm surprised by that. I got the sense our lineout had been good

I suspect there's not much between the best and worst lineouts
in the league. It's a bit like consumer reports on cars these
days - your new vehicle can come bottom of the heap if the
cupholders are a bit small or fragile.

Is Lewies the “usual” line out caller? As he’s been out for
sometime, perhaps we’ve slipped down the order in his absence
and the replacement hasn’t been able to control the line out as
well. Quite a few misses on Saturday seemed to do with badly
timed jumps as much as bad throws.

I think he's certainly our primary lineout option when he's fit.
I suspect Tiz calls it when he's in the squad. It struck me over
the last couple of games that our lineouts are generally pretty
good when we keep them simple and it's the overcomplicated ones
that go wrong more often.

With White extending, it’s probably a moot point, but Uzokwe is
a better player than those starts for Newcastle suggest. At that
point in time, they were very hesitant on giving opportunities
to academy players and played Wilson and Welch unless they had
no other option.
Plenty of players have come from the Championship and done well
in recent times, Frost and Hatherell being two of the more
obvious examples this season. While I wouldn’t be ecstatic to
sign Uzokwe, I wouldn’t dismiss him without giving him a chance.

Does the "four" in your name refer to No 4/lock during your
playing career? - Just wondering...
