Quote: KaeruJim "I don't mind having fairly mobile workers in the second row, but the lighter your back row is the more emphasis that puts on the really big boys to make yardage and provide some whack.
To be fair Smith almost plays like a ball handling prop and he is pretty good in centre field; for whatever reason our pack has not been dominant this season despite Lisone/Sangare addtions, and we're losing Walters who could have added something there (albeit more running in the second row channels currently).
Right now all four props are automatic picks when fit; I think another prop must be a priority for competition and so we have proper props on rotation and some cover for knocks before we're into Donaldson or academy lads.'"
Yep, I think we'll definitely get another. When we had that mid season run when most were fit he tended to go with five.
