To keep up to date on all the latest news from Super League, inthenews.co.uk are bringing you regular weekly updates courtesy of Harlequins' star stand-off Danny Orr.
This week, Danny gives us an update on Quins' form heading into the business end of the season, how he's recovering from his injury and how badly the team want to make it into the playoffs this year.
"The lads were pretty down after last week's game (Harlequins lost 42 - 18 to Bradford).
"I was disappointed on an individual note, I felt I didn't perform. And on a team level, we didn't perform as well as we would have liked and it cost us two valuable points.
"The lads were down following the result, but we've managed to put it behind us now. We've had a really good intense week in training and we're looking forward to the game against Salford on Saturday.
"Unfortunately I'm going to be missing the game due to injury, but I'll be down there cheering the guys on. The injury is just one of a few old niggles, but nothing serious. I've been training this week, although within myself, and I hope to back to full fitness next week.
"As a team we're looking to put things right as soon as possible, and get back to winning ways. The playoffs are just around the corner and we want to get in them, so a good win on Saturday will do us the world of good.
"Salford, though are a good team with a lot of good individuals and at times when you watch them they play really well. I like their forwards and their props always look to off load the ball. I think if we can stop their forwards, though, we'll have a good chance.
"The squad are positive we can reach the playoffs. We've got four games left, we need a couple of wins to give ourselves a chance and if we get four we should make it.
"It will be really tough, but it starts on Saturday. We have to try and get a win no matter what, winning is the main thing.
"We've had a good intense week and really trained hard, so if we take that into the game, and if we implement all the things we've worked on we should get the win."
