Ranked! The 5 underwhelming Premiership signings of the season so far

Described by the club as 'a real coup' when the winger joined from relegated Newcastle Falcons in the summer. However, it appears that the 35-year-old, who has been a prolific try scorer throughout his career, is finally slowing down. He has yet to cross the whitewash in his six Premiership outings for Quins.

The Scotland international was meant to add some brute strength to the Exiles scrum, but has looked very undercooked. The 27-year-old, who has been sin-binned twice, has been limited to just two Premiership starts and a handful of replacement appearances (103 minutes combined). They'll need some improved performances from Dell if they are to survive relegation.

One of only 20 players to win the Rugby World Cup twice, the prop arrived at Franklin's Gardens with a degree of expectation on his shoulders. It was hoped he'd bring his impressive strength and scrummaging technique to the pack at Franklin’s Gardens - but he's barely featured. Saints fans will be hoping for much more in the second half of the season.

For all of his experience and supposed pedigree, he's not really done anything to stand out since joining the Exiles, which isn't great when reports suggest he's earning £900k per season. They'll need a lot more from him in the second half of the season.

London Irish again wasting money. They have reportedly parted with £450,000 per season to land the experienced Ireland international. Due to a hip injury, the back-rower is yet to play a game, meaning his high-profile move to the Exiles can't be described as anything other than a flop. He's admitted to the Irish press that adapting to London life is a slow process, having previously spent his entire career with Leinster.
