       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.

       I am hoping that we can get 6th after last season.
       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.
