If Wood has broken his leg as detailed in other threads ( no confirmation from the club yet), would Pickersgill be recalled from his loan period, or would Smith promote a back rower as prop?

I would imagine that Rauhihi and Cooper would be back up to Morley and Carvell

I would be happy to cope with what we have got than bring Pickersgill back

Me too. If needs be Benny can play prop.

I know it's a terrible injury and i wish him all the best but he wont be missed that much...... I feel the young lads like Cooper and Mitchell have been doing lots more in terms of making the hard yards... Wood drop's to much ball also.

mitchell's been back in the team, what, 3 weeks? and wood has been a big part of our good run of form.

mitchell is not a prop

aparently he's done more in making the hard yards

Mitchell also has some pace.

He has in the games he's played....Wood's lost the ball 5 times in 3 games for god sake and let's be honest the injury's have taken there toll mentally if not physically, he doesn't go in as hard like he used to and his tackling needs some work.

Not as quick as Gareth 'Bolt' Carvelle - another storming sprint yesterday !!

Wilshire made a great tackle. Then tried to do it again and nearly took off his head!
