I miss the actual Harlequin pattern of the four quarters. When's that coming back?Scrumhead wrote:I quite like the logo, but I’m not a fan of that shirt if it is indeed the playing kit.
Quins kit last season (home and away) was fairly good. I’m hoping we don’t revert back to something like the horrible luminous green shirt and pale grey shorts we had in 19/20 for our away strip.
Yeah see what you mean, that isn't a looker is it.I R Geech wrote:I'm all for change, change is good. This however is appalling.FKAS wrote:Took me a while to spot the difference. Very similar to last season. Just the logo remodel really. I guess of it's your club you'll always notice the difference more.
Good gods! I see what you mean - I'm also unsure how many legs that wasp is supposed to have - it looks like 2 pairs; with 1 pair from the thoraco-abdominal junction.Raggs wrote:I think it looks fine, apart from my inner zoologist screaming about the legs seemingly coming out of the abdomen. But I'll get over the.

Okay, that's officially ruined any chance of me ever seeing something different. Good work!Danno wrote:That logo is pretty funny, WASP WANT HUGS

very good. As Puja says that is unseeable. Makes me think Free State Cheetahs a bit. Away kit is decent though I did prefer last year's.Puja wrote:Ooh! I quite like that! Going very, very old school and getting some black and orange in there like the kit that gave us the Tigers nickname. That's the nicest away kit we've had in a long time, and I did like last year's.

Ugh. The Tigers board giveth with one hand and smack you around the head with the other. Mind, it's very far from the worst home kit we've had in recent years, so we'll thank heavens for small mercies.FKAS wrote:Shame about the home kit. Looks unfinished.
Don't know why, but it looks more League in style to me. Just my initial reaction!FKAS wrote:Not a bad offering from Tigers for the away kit. Bit bland compared to last year.
Yeah know what you mean. Bath away kit as well. That predominantly single block colour shirt with the design from nipple height up.Magic_sponge wrote:Don't know why, but it looks more League in style to me.

We’ve signed another loosehead but given the action shot attached I think he’s probably inked in at 15.Gloskarlos wrote:Openside to 9 - tighthead to full back, Hooker in at 12. Play a tight game.
Litchfield at 13, obvs.... guessing he won’t be at GR next season given he’s not in brackets. Hoping Sylvester will be making the pilgrimage, though. I’ve heard a lot about him on the school grapevine and would love the chance to see him in blue.Adam_P wrote:Saints:
Loosehead: Auterac, Hobbs-Awoyemi, Iyogun, Waller
Tighthead: Hill, Painter, Heffernan, Garside, (Prowse)
Hooker: Matavesi, Marshall, Haywood, Fish, Ma'asi, Hughes, (Burns)
Locks: Lawes, Ribbans, Ratuniyarawa, Coles, Moon, Nansen, (Sylvester), (Lockett), (Atunya)
Flanker: Ludlam, Wood, Wilkins, Tonks, (Newman) (Irvine)
8: Augustus, Harrison, (Willemsen)
Scrumhalf: Mitchell, James, Taylor, Tupai
Flyhalf: Biggar, J Grayson, (Arden)
Centre: Proctor, Dingwall, Francis, Hutchinson, Litchfield (E Grayson)
Wing: Naiyaravoro, Sleightholme, Collins, (Long-Martinez), (Gillespie)
Fullback: Freeman, Furbank, Tuala
Senior academy players in brackets. We've added a smattering of heavy carriers like Augustus and Nansen to the pack, which is the main thing we've been lacking. Duane Ratu Willemsen is promising too based on physical attributes alone. Look fairly light at flanker, but Lawes and Nansen can both play there. Seem a bit heavy at hooker. Think my starting 15 would probably be:
1. Auterac
2. Matavesi
3. Hill
4. Ribbans
5. Coles
6. Lawes
7. Ludlam
8. Augustus
9. Mitchell
10. Biggar
11. Naiyaravoro
12. Francis
13. Proctor
14. Sleightholme
15. Freeman
Toughest pick is centre as Dingwall and Hutchinson are both quality. Would be tempted to put Proctor onto the wing instead of the Naiyaravoro and bring Hutch in at 13.
I may have missed the brackets on Litchfield, I think it's likely you'll have him if there is still no A league or Prem Cup to get the younger guys some game time. We have quite the conveyor belt of very promising locks as the other two are giants alreadyMellsblue wrote: Litchfield at 13, obvs.... guessing he won’t be at GR next season given he’s not in brackets.

Litchfield and Sylvester at GR next season would be amazing. If you could send Lawes, Furbank and Dingwall with them that would be even betterAdam_P wrote:I may have missed the brackets on Litchfield, I think it's likely you'll have him if there is still no A league or Prem Cup to get the younger guys some game time.
