Who are we missing most?
Having read a number of the posts about Saturdays (and previous games) I was wondering who we thought we were missing most at the moment? Obvioulsy if I'd asked this over a week ago everyone would probably have said Harry, but he and Alex are back now - so who do we think?
Just my starter - I think we are missing Marco Wentzel - he was responsible for line out calls and added some much needed height to the lineouts - something we have been missing over the last few weeks. He could be considered by some as not one of our key players - but I think he's been missed.
Of all the guys that are out right now - who do you think we miss most?

I think we are missing Lewis Moody & Ben Kay the most.
Moody for his out and out dynamism and competetiveness at the breakdown and in the tackle.
Kay, for his lineout work, and his immense tackle count and work in the tight.

I would still say the big one is Harry Ellis as he needs time to get back into it (20mins and the 60mins back arnt really back to being harry)
Also we are really unlucky with the INJ front as Dan Hipkiss is still getting back to what his does best.
So overall i dont feel we are missing to many of the players just the ones we can pick from do have the odd knock or have not long been back.
Also i may have that little niggle at the back of my mind about the gaffer but be fair he has not done very well but Pat Howard didnt get off to the best start. He has moved home and country and in to the best league in the world so he and the player,club and fan will need to "get the feel of him" and he has the same task.

Shane Jennings a big miss but mr Herring doesn't seem a bad lad and plays just on the edge of the law like all good opensides.Darryl Gibson, we're missing defensive leadership and a man for the hard yards in heavy traffic.With the disruption of the six nations,a new coach and injuries we can't complain too loudly! It aint over till the fat lady sings!!!
The maul is back! JUSTICE !

Castro - for the intimidation of the opposition scrummage and the dynamic yerdage as a ball carrier
Wentzel - for Good quality gauanteed lineout and mobility in the loose
Moody - for recycling and restarts and sheer lunacy
Mauger - for control of the backline and for opening defences with clever lines and passing.

No Kornboy, Coach Loffreda has had a full 13 games now to prove himself. He hasn't done so and must be replaced. The season only has a couple of months left and we haven't even won a final yet.
Not good enough! We need to learn the lessons from football and sack the management the very second something goes wrong. No time to bed down, no time to craft the team in their own graven image, one loss, one sacking!
A quality centre partnership is what we are missing. And a bit more experience in the pack.
