If McKinnon gets through today and plays well he will be straight swap for cuthbertson, was gower ruled out through injury to that ankle or cause Gidley returned?
 
Time to look at the great Matty Hilder to add some workrate to our forward pack.

McKinnon has had a long time out with a leg injury, so he won't have done much fitness training and will need a few games in NSW cup. We need to bring someone up for Cuthbo. The two to choose from are Sims and Hilder, and I say Hilder is the guy with experience and form to bring in at this time of year. Sims is a better prospect, but this isn't the time of year to be looking at prospects.

I'd say if they ever did that to Leilua that have to replace him with Tahu!

Gidleys the perfect utility on the bench. He can kick goals and can cover more spots than Gower.
 
Costigan doesn't deserve to be dropped after his past month. McKinnon i would prefer to see him play atleast 2 games of NSW Cup to maintain the 'working hard to get back into the team feel'. Sims would be a perfect replacement for Cuthbo in my opinion. Although it wouldn't be a horrible option to have Hilder as a bench lock with Costigan/Fa'alogo/Tetevano being the bench props.

Who's starting props then?
 
I'd like to see the same team with McKinnon replacing Cuthbertson and Sims replacing Tetevano, Fa'alogo to start.

Wayne should tell everyone they are at risk if they don't perform. Costigan doesn't deserve to be dropped as Josh said.

Cuthertson out for a 'bit' according to wayne with a groin injury
McKinnon has to have more time in NSW cup you would imagine

Mason and Scott are a chance this week or next

We need to improve our D and our ruck speed and also not give away stupid penalties! We need to attack a lot more!
