Indeed. The decline at tighthead is really marked.

A few things that struck me today Sale seemed physically
stronger both sides of the ball, they also seemed a lot fitter
overall. We also appear to lack the desire and attitude to win.
I actually think we have a decent squad (ok a few players need
to come in to add physicality) but our coaching seems bang
average! I don’t think it all stops with Wilson he should be the
first out but maybe hold the door as we have a shakeup.

So just checking you prefer homophobia? Odd thing to post.

This is exactly what was running through my mind during today`s
"performance", there is clearly something very much amiss and
has been for a while now. Whether it is all down to the coaches
or the club has been concentrating too much on the commercial
side I don`t know but we are reporting to be spending up to the
salary cap - perhaps nobody from other clubs wants to play for
Quins and we are delusional?
How can we let Jibulu go and hang onto the likes of Els?, as
much as he has been a great servant to the club DC really is
past his sell by date (did he actually pass the ball once
today?). Cunningham-South seemed to be the only player able to
make any headway through the Sale defensive line while Sale
seemed to be able to breech the Quins defence at will, felt
sorry for Marcus and Cadan who were part of a small number
interested in playing.
Time to stop rambling, needless to stay did not enjoy much of my
visit to The Stoop today and already wondering if my tickets for
the trip to Leicester next week are a sensible investment.
COYQ.

Let’s face it, we are a shambles. Our attack is non existent and
our defence is a work in progress. Well done to the coaching
staff for improving our game. We were so much better when our
game plan was just go out and score more points than we concede.

I don't think the only 2 choices are rainbows or homophobia. Odd

No sure, but Quins being crap didn’t have much to with trying to
be more inclusive presumably?
Either way agree with the people saying something is seriously
wrong.
Our attack is non existent. And Smith was awful again.

Our attacking is largely designed to either fling it wide as
soon as possible, or to make the right space for a box kick
we'll never recover.
Oscar Beard was largely brilliant in defence today. Just wanted
to mention that as I was very critical of his tackling and his
decision making at 13 for a long time. He's really become an
excellent all round player and a display like that in a team
performance that poor speaks volumes.
So does the fact that he got to run the ball all of 5 times and
made 1 metre.

There were acres of space behind Sale’s (mostly offside) rush
defence yet how many kicks were put through for runners? We just
seemed devoid of belief & attacking spark today. Don’t think
Matthew Carley helped us much either though. They were a well
drilled very physical side & wore us down. A tad worried about
our front five, some serious recruitment required there. Marcus
Smith has played too many games out of position & it’s showing
now, even he struggles on the back foot. Club is on a down cycle
at present.
