And Thompson isnt in Harlequins 19 man squad so doesnt look like McDermott rates him so he could be back with us shortly.

Now this is bad news.

F*ck!!!

From the news report:

It came as his squad's preparations for the clash were hampered by a throat infection spreading through the camp

With only 22 first-team players to choose from, and at least five players suffering from illness, Agar says he felt it was worth asking the question.


Surely the fact that the illness should have cleared up next week will mean his return is no longer needed?

Not sure why we have said no to be honest... as already mentioned we don't have a game this weekend so he wouldn't be playing in the side again before he was due back..

Why not just say thanks very much and send him back and keep up good relations between the two sides should we want to bring in another player from there.

I don't want for one minute to suggest that relations are in danger of being damaged between the two clubs.. we have a good relationship apparently with quite a few clubs and Hull were grateful that we didn't kick up a fuss over the whole challenge cup debacle but I don't see what this does for us.

In terms of where this leaves us I'm not too worried. Varkulis has come on leaps and bounds recently and could slot nicely back in there. Or gives Grady a go again!

It's not us saying no, it's the RFL. He was signed on a 1 month loan. RFL rules mean that he can not play again for Hull until the month is up.

Let's hope the illness clears up for next week then.

Aren't there a number of other props ahead of Grayshon and Thompson anyway at Hairyquims anyway?

Thompson played in Quins reserves last week. Doesn't really look like they'll be keeping him but you never know, they might just see the Thompson / Grayshon swap a fair deal and go with it til the end of the season.
