thing is we dont know who is carrying knocks.. with strength in depth we now have. Players can be rested..
its not about who drops out ! its a Squad Game..

Pitts at 13 gives us a far more balanced look in the middle and is the better option to start games than Westerman IMO.

Isn't Tickle meant to be back as well?

Yes but I wouldn't play him, no need to rush him straight back into the team plus over back rowers are playing really well. The only thing we're missing is his kicking.

I'd bring back Westerman and Watts. They only missed out due to injury and both have been in top form. It would mean Pitts doing a spell at prop at some point unfortunately.

Both players will improve us.

Just on Pitts, he has been in great form in the last month.

The pleasing aspect of the team atm is the form of players right across the board . Threequaters , Halves & Forwards all playing well. Also the players inching to get back into the side haven't been playing badly either. Great problem for Gentle to have.
