Reckon we could borrow Wyatt Crockett since the Kiwi's obviously don't want or 'need' him?

My list of our most valuable players, in order of how little we can afford to lose them:

Genia
Cooper
Beale
Pocock
Sharpe
AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)
Rocky
Fatcat
Moore

We do have a fair bit of prop cover. Kepu, Alexander, Slipper are all international quality props, and Daley and Baxter would hold their own in gold as well. So it isn't panic stations just yet.

Really? I'd have Pocock then daylight. Don't think we'd have won half the matches we did last year without him. I guess it also depends on the status of the back-up because right now Moore is the most valuable player.

I thought we already exhausted those allocations with Mitchell, Barnes, TPN, Palu etc.

Some, if not all (here's hoping anyway), of them should be okay come September...

TPN & Palu definitley, and Barnes is scheduled to start with Uni again soon.

Sorry, should have said that I was taking into account the quality of the back-up. eg. There is no JOC (James O'Connor) on my list, because we have plenty of top quality wingers around. Same with Moore, as we have TPN who is also top class. Genia and Cooper are at the top due to the massive step down to the next best. Pocock probably should be above Beale now I think about it, but I would suggest Beau is a better replacement for Pocock than Burgo is for Genia.

Did Robbie have an 8-ball into the future, is this why he blooded so many other props in 2011??

Arguably the most important forward for us.

England all of a sudden are a real chance to make the final... FUUUUCK!

Maybe we can rekindle the Dunning - Baxter - Shepherdson tri-pod from the 2007RWC

Use sterile technique it wouldn't do to get an infection.

a loss, but not a disaster. I reckon our prop depth is the best its been for years.

Daley, Slipper and Holmes, Kepu, Alexander and Jerry Y, Cowan.

Happy with any of those.

While it's true that we do have some decent prop stocks at the moment, Fat Cat is perhaps the only one that is truly world-class and has the pedigree to prove it. Furthermore, the Waratahs starting front row was probably the second-best in the comp behind the Cru. Having them together for the RWC would have been a very good thing indeed.

Edit: This sucks.
