I think you mean we have been playing with 5 props. BK, BJ, KingDog, Nood and Richie.
I suppose we can probably get away with 4, but they will all need to lift to pick up the slack left by Joe's absence. I don't think we have anyone capable of directly replacing what Joe brings, but I think the other 4 guys can certainly make up for him as they are ALL playing very good quality football. Having Gift back will maybe mean Choc can get a break at some point, meaning he can rip in for solid 30 minute bursts. Otherwise George may be in the frame.
Oops, yes you are right. Having 5 props has helped in getting us great yardage up the field and I'm jut a bit concerned that with only 4 it might be more difficult to dominate in this area.
