He needed to get that away ASAP for us to have a shot at
scoring. The problem was he messed up the pass, not that he
rushed it.

What's Tapuai's username on here? I don't recall him saying
anyone should be sacked (irony klaxon).
But then nor did anyone who shouldn't just be ignored.

Yes it is fantastic to see them back and if they stay fit no one
will be more delighted than I am.
However, Salli in particular seems to be very prone to injury.
How much have they cost per game or minute of play.
I think the Cat has played about 30 mins and Salli about 120
since they signed. Hardly a wonderful return.
When they have played a full season I will agree they should
stay same as Jack C.
No one would be more delighted than me if they stayed fit for a
season and put in the performances they are capable of.
Some players are however prone to injury, not their fault, and
they must be very frustrated.
A certain Brain Clough, a guy who knew more about winning things
than anyone we have ever had at quins, said he did not bother to
talk to injured players as they were no use to the club or the
fans or himself.

Different era in Cloughs day. Not sure he would have much luck
with that today

Is Saili primarily a 12 or 13? So far Tapuai and MArchant have
looked like a very useful pairing

I thought Saili was mainly a 13, but I could be wrong. He has
occasionally played on the wing, which is why I think he's more
a 13 than a 12.

IIRC, Olly Kohn arrived in rehab and was injured for a long
while before he started playing consistently. And then he was
fabulous for several years until Wales finally broke him beyond
repair.
Quins physios certainly used to have a good knack of refreshing
the players other clubs couldn't reach [1], though they seem to
have lost the golden touch a little. The club has been pretty
loyal to its injured players, which has paid off several times
through players staying when they were offered much more to
leave, and it has also been good at giving them a decent exit
once it's clear they won't recover. In an attritional sport like
rugby, I value that.
As a parent of two children who have dreams of playing
professional rugby (however unlikely those dream may be), I
would not want them to play for a club that would treat them
like consumables rather than human beings. If that comes at the
cost of worse results sometimes, then I am actually OK with that
because I think it pays off more often than not in the team
spirit that it engenders.
And quoting Brian Clough just reminds me that this isn't
football and I don't want it to be.
[1] Something to do with Heineken, perhaps?
