* fresh out of school but damn hot talents!
Wow, quite a list.
Carr, bradley and Bellamy for Quins too, plus hobson if on because he must be in his last season at the academy so might get some chances before he's offloaded. Incredible in the loose but not sure about his scrummaging.
Of the quins players I should think Friday, and Bradley could break through this season. I won't include Waghorn as he's already started plenty of big games, and Benson will almost certainly be needed whenever Smith is away. Might need Bellamy too if injuries or Evans called up.

I think Schmid might stand a chance and Kerr too. Both Corbin and around the first team last season.
Hopefully Friday can complete his rehab by the start of the season.
