Isn't Washy a loose man though and Lee plays because he comes in as a hooker i thought they would be used as the coach saw fit for tactical use rather than battling it out for the same spot? When Crocker comes will he play 13 or 2nd row?

Personally I would like to see Washy back in for Lee. Washy was superb for us last season and imo should be our next long term captain.

People need to get a bit of perspective, we are in a situation where we can give players proper re hab periods not rush them back staight away like we've had to in the past.

we have won 5 out of 5 without washy in the team . Lee has come into the 17 due to Washy's injury and played well and deserves to keep his place . We shouldn't change the team when it is playing well , all returning players from injury (Tony / Raynor / king etc included) shouldn't just walk back in if the team is playng well .
If aint broke don't fix it same 17 for me as the past 5 weeks.

Washy played in the first 2 games

Washy will get plenty of game time over the season, don't worry about that. It's good to have competition for places for a change

I knew that meant to say we have won 5 from 5 and last 3 without washy !!

Think we should give washy a decent chance in his proper position!!

he played very well in an underperforming team in a positionn different to his natural one.

If he played well in a poor team surely his performances can only improve in a good team!
