Newcastle were poor, no doubt, but it was interesting to see how
the lineout quality improved once Crumpton came on (personally I
thought Gustard had just hooked Ella because his throwing was so
poor, but I may be wrong). While I also accept that Gary "which
nationality am I ?" Graham was a bit of a nuisance at the
breakdown, I thought James Chisholm was doing a pretty good job
of showing him how to do this while he was on the pitch and
there were some good turnovers won by us throughout the game, (
more than we've had for a while I thought - would be interesting
to see the stats)

North was full, east and west were virtually full, and the south
looked about half full. There is no way there were 5000+ empty
seats!

I disagree, sir.
I think the South was well under half full. In my considered
opinion 9,000 was about right.
Why would Quins say otherwise?

Good game overall. Few things to work on and a few to commend
but in general, a pleasing night for us Quins!
Special shoutout to Crumpton. I felt Gustard a decision to put
him on early was wise, line out dramatically improved and he
seems strong around the field too. He’s now a solid 1st choice
for that position in my eyes
Marchant, Dombrandt & Marler were all great aswell.
Let’s see how we hold up against tougher opposition the next two
weeks
Roll on Worcester

I think the most pleasing thing was the collective defensive
mindset - Falcons has some big names missing but still ran hard
into contact , and to keep any Prem side from scoring points for
3/4 of a game takes some doing . - Doubt we would have done that
last season
Credit to coaches to swapping Elia after 30mins ( not often seen
) , but he was having a poor game .
Saili was certainly a ' game changer' as we looked better going
forward when he came on , good all round performances but a
special mention
to Joe Marchant who moved to the right wing to accommodate
changes butproceeded to wrap up Sinnoti every time he had the
ball .
PS - They forgot to tell Mike Brown he wasn't 15 - I expect he
just sat at his normal peg and pulled rank !... good shift by
him as always .

He was 15, it was a last minute change as per the the team
announcement over the PA before kick off

Apparently the BBC reporter with the write up doesn’t pay
attention to names, or a typo:
Conversion by Long... 🤦🏽‍♂️

One of the main positives we can take from this game is that we
didn't play well and still won, Newcastle aren't a bad team as
we have seen in Europe.

I agree with Chipstead Quin - the really pleasing thing to see
was the lads collective defensive mindset. Our defense is
certainly improving. Newcastle have some dangerous runners, but
we didn't let them get up a head of steam. In the 2nd half
Hammersley came charging through the middle and one of our backs
put him straight to the deck. Not sure who it was, either
Mulchrone or Smith, but it was an excellent tackle. And we gave
Sinoti no room to move either.
The other positive was the way Alex Dombrandt stepped up to the
plate for his first premiership start. He has put his hand up in
the PRC and looked comfortable last night. A big backrow unit
that seems to know where the try line is. That was his 3rd try
in 5 games. He will surely get better.
Set-piece didn't look so good last night but apparently Horwill
should be available for selection in the next week or two.
A hard-fought win. Well done lads.

On reflection one of the dullest most abysmal games I’ve ever
sat through.
But we won.
Both sides devoid of creativity and full of errors. Slugged it
out until the crowd finally woke up for the interception try.
Very quiet dull crowd for a dull game
Last year we’d have let them score two more so that is a
positive.
