Difficult to livestream beer... but you'd have thought that
between Fuller's and DHL they could have sorted something out
for the fans at home.

In the past have been more questions from audience, had a total
of three, and two where just statements of how wonderful the
club is
One more competitive game next season in Premiership cup ,
tickets up in-line with inflation

Call me a cynic, but one might suspect the question section was
engineered not to allow too many difficult ones form the
audience and filter out those sent in in advance...

Sounds rather underwhelming in terms of getting to the crux of
why we're underperforming and wanting to hold people to account.
Good news about the finances at least.

You, Sir, are a cynic!

It was actually pretty insightful. They recognised the need to
improve defence, hired Gilmore and allocated more training time
to defence; we're now at least top 3 on the key defensive
metrics. We're also top 3 in our ability to score once in the 22
and top in terms of scoring from attacking lineouts... but
what's not working is that we are 8th at getting into the 22 in
the first place. That's probably partly down to losing Andre's
go forward, and not having an obvious replacement until Waghorn
started to emerge.
They have also recognised a need to build squad depth and have
prioritised giving game time to the academy prospects. Basically
it's a 3 year plan to address the issues they saw in 22-23.
In other news, Jibulu is rehabbing a shoulder injury and is
still some way from being ready, as are quite a few other
players (though overall it's a lower % of players that are
injured, there looked to be a higher proportion of senior
players in the group they listed)

Generally, I am in favour of submitting all questions in
advance.
You tend to get specific questions that can actually be answered
rather than having the audience asking "non-questions". For e.g.
- I think that one question that the last person was maybe
trying to ask was - "Are there any changes planned for the
women's coaching group?" But it came out as "Don't change Ross!"

One of the last questions to the floor was who they'd like to
see as a musical act at BG or BSKO... I think it was Cadan who
suggested Rizzle Kicks (and Laurie would only say that an actual
announcement was imminent but "it's not an act that's been
mentioned multiple times tonight" - which rules out Taylor
Swift).
Anyway, what we didn't have time to point out was that if Cadan
wants to see the Rizzle Kicks play at the Big Stoop, his wish
has been granted:

What a ridiculous question.
Imagine the reaction If I was allowed.
1) Are you concerned about how at times there has been a clear
gulf in quality and overall ability between us and now a
growing number of teams above us?
2) Do you think the fans get value for money when supporting
Quins?
3) Why has there been a reoccurring theme of once we give up a
lead, simply not being able to regain it back? (Links in to
simply not creating enough chances).
4) We have gone from having the strongest scrum in the league,
to one that now at best struggles to keep parity yet alone
dominate, why is that?
