       Marcus leaving would be devasting for the club and supporters
       alike . I agree the dinosaur running the England team is not
       helping us or Marcus.  He should be Englands 10 without a doubt
       he is one of the only players who can get supporters off their
       seats and create excitement.Losing him would mean Quins losing a
       lot of sets and casual fans and would leave us in a worse state
       than we are in now .

       If I were Marcus, I'd be very tempted. He's not valued in
       England (except by Quins supporters), and I do sometimes think
       Quins play better without him, because when he's there, everyone
       seems to just wait for him to win the game. (A good coach should
       solve that problem...)
       I won't blame him if he takes the opportunity, if only for a
       couple of years. At his age, it's the time to explore the world
       a bit more.

       It was hugely frustrating in the middle rounds of the 6N
       watching Marcus come on and bring some intelligence to the
       attack only for the rest of the team to completely fail to
       respond.
       I had hoped that Blackett arriving would bring some patterns
       that could make use of that vision, but so far the evidence is
       that England either don’t want to chance their arm or
       collectively don’t know how.

       You can count the players worth the marquee money more than
       Marcus at his position on one hand and you wouldn't need all the
       fingers.
       That we'd be better off without him somehow is nuts.
       Wouldn't begrudge him a move, can see it happening after RWC
       2027 at the earliest though.

       A fair amount of publicity for both England and Quins seems to
       feature a photo of Marcus.

       Marcus will still be a world class 10 after the current coaching
       team have been sacked. His time is coming.

       Sure, but he's rubbish.

       Plus in France, they like to play and Jouer Jouer and that is
       the complete opposite of what Faz Jnr is and doesn't meet the
       demands of the fan base. Marcus would have them drooling week in
       and week out.
