Kyle Wood : Thu Jul 31, 2014 8:45 am  

Unless I've missed it there isn't a thread on this lad being injured and not having him for the rest of the season.

Just wondering if it had been any other player if one had been started or am I being paranoid.

It's no fluke that he hadn't missed a game before this injury. He's been one of the positives this year.
He's not the most skilled player but he is safe and whatever position he played in he's done a good solid job.

We have good cover for him but I can't help but feel, even though he doesn't have the X Factor that his injury is a massive blow..

Bad injury for the lad, hope he can come back with a full recovery.

not a massive blow though, plenty of cover in his position and they can do just as good a job if not better.

Lunt, Faiumu, Robinson, Bailey, Leeming.

I think it is a significant blow. As a hooker Kyle's main weakness is his lack of size, but he has an awful lot of positives. He mixes play up well and has a superb long pass from dummy half, it is quick and accurate off either side, that allows us to be more expansive and get good ball wide quickly. Of our other hookers only Lunt offers the same speed and accuracy of passing.

I think there isn't a thread as he's not seen as a key player, he's a decent player and his versatility is an asset to the squad so in that sense he will be missed.

He is replaceable though in any of the positions he plays so hopefully he won't be badly missed.
