It's Adam Robinson that's missing, got plenty of cover and better players in the pack.

I doubt Heaton was ever going to be risked after seeing him at FT last week, Menzies doesn't look fit to me so probably gone for strongest possible squad.

Not too worried about the backs. Manning can cover at Centre and with Maneely back, it frees Johnston up to drop to full back if needed allowing Salts to cover wing/centre

Who is No19 Wood ?

Wood on loan from Giants. Academy international under RM. Se my post "Back row on board"

Are you basing this on his performances this season or his potential to improve?

Since he came to us really. A good player with a great attitude. Not a bad centre either.

Very strange how people judge different players.
In my humble opinion Robbo is an outstanding player who as Huddshay points out performs extremely well when playing out wide.
I am not fortunate to have the inside "whispers" that some of our fellow posters have but I was told that Richard rates Robbo very highly.
Perhaps this was why he came back strait away from injury.
