Yep, that's what I'd pick.
 
great bench if Cuthbo's fit.
Imagine a fully fit side with king back.

14.Le Strange
15.King/Perry
16.Cuthbertson
17.Menzies

Tell me that is not one of the best benches in the comp.
 
What exactly did Cuthbo do to get on the outer i wonder....

Is one of the wingers playing out of position?  Like, are they both right side or left side or can they handle either?

My guess it was being sent off - could have cost the 2 points

*cough* Perry v Knights *cough*
 
I assume the fact that we were versing the warriors in wet and slippery conditions made Des think that playing Cuthbo could end being a liability with his renown offloads. He probably wanted to grind it out more with players such as bryant and hall other than the more riskier cuthbo.

No way was that a send off though and Des said so in the media conference afterwards. Maybe theres nothing in it and Des just likes Willow and Bryants reliable boringness.
