Predictions
DIR By: honkytonk

---------------------------------------------------------
So, now the season is nearly here and squads have been sorted
(as good as). What are people expecting from Quins and the Prem
in general??
Gloucs have a good squad on paper (said that before), Sarries
and Exeter the teams to beat. Cant see past Worcs and Bristol
for the relegation battle (despite some good signings).
Winners - Sarries
Relegated - Worcs
Quins - 6th
Quins player to watch out for - A fit Francis Salli
Young Quins player to watch - Keep hearing Murley is a good
prospect
Prem player to watch - Naiyaravoro (Saints)
Young prem player to watch - Kopku (Sarries)
Thoughts??

agree with most of that.
I think if quins can get there defence sorted they should be
aiming top 4 but I think 5th is realistic (quins google on)
Sarries to win
Exeter
Wasps
Leicester
Quins
Gloucester
Sale (could end up higher depends if the backline clicks or not,
lots of individuals)
Bath (i think they have gone backwards with signings and no big
chnages)
NOrthampton
Bristol
Worcester

I’m hoping we can sneak into 4th but realistically 5th would be
great.

Re Sale, Im not sure they have the forwards yet, backs look
great if all fit. I put us in with Bath and Saints - should be
aiming high but could really go either way. All 3 could find
themselves in a relegation battle if not careful (that is true
of anyone but being realistic). Falcons are an interesting one,
can they repeat last season??? All this tells me is that this
year, which is potentially crucial if ring fencing for 5 years
happens, is as close as you can get.

Quins player to watch out for - James Chisholm
Young Quins player to watch- Alex Dombrandt

I'm torn as to whether or not I want us to come 6th & end up in
the Champions Cup again. While it's good for the club in terms
of profile & money (apparently), I'm not sure that we can truly
compete in that completion without stretching our squad too
thinly.

Champs cup every time. Even if we lose every game it's better
than winning the tinpot.

Very hard to predict the middle group. Wasps have made some very
strong signings. Glos have too, but they always do.
Reckon Wuss will go down, Briz involved in relegation scrap and
I think Sale might struggle next season, not sure why. Sarries
and Wasps top 2. Exeter 3, then big group, including us, which
is very hard to predict.
If we can get some proper game time from Clifford and Saili it
could make a big difference.
Looking forward to see Ibitoye come through

Top three - Exeter, Saracens & Wasps
Middle seven - Most other teams
Bottom two - Worcester and Bristol

Hopefully our (Sale) backline should click fine. The guys know
each other better than last season as we’ve only made two hires
and one of them played for us earlier this year.
Whether our pack will provide sufficient ball is another matter.
