Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli encountered Saruman on the edge of Fangorn Forest the night after Eomer and his riders had seen off Ugluk and his band. During the battle, Mauhur and his "lads" emerged from Fangorn to attack. Considering Saruman was obviously in the vicinity, would it not have been better if he'd helped Mauhur ?

Come to think of it, Gandalf and Treebeard were close by too - why didn't they intervene on the other side ?
