Tim Fairbrother Leaves Quins to Return to NZ

Just been announced that back up tight head Fairbrother has now terminated his contract early to return home to NZ. Seems like he isn't sure if he'll carry on with the game at the moment and he has had a pretty bad run of injuries.

Anyway good luck to him with what ever he does.

I hope Sinckler is ready for some Premiership rugby now then as if Johnston gets injured he'll be called upon straight away.

A shame. Is Sinckler the second choice Tighthead now? That's probably cutting it a bit fine if so (I'm sure there is someone I'm forgetting).

Good luck to Fairbrother in whatever he does.

There's Will Collier who's probably next in line depending upon fitness and form (questions over both). He did play in the A league match last night and held up fairly well before going off injured.

So really there's Sinckler and potentially Collier. As you say that is light, especially from a team that wants to compete in Europe and in the prem.
