Looking a lot like DSaf will be missing V Titans and JSaf likely to miss as well to give extra two weeks recovery. So starting props Thompson and Hetherington do we now use Friz as bench prop with Lucas and KPP 2nd row.
Bench then would likely be Crosslands, Jones, Friz and Cartwright

Zero doubt we will go 6. Cogger and keep Crossland at 14. Not ideal but it is what it is.

Yeah AOB is predictable, he even said in the presser when asked about Gamble "well, we've got Cogger there".

This is what I would like to see, or even Croker over Cartwright.

If Friz becomes a bench prop then is it fair to say that one of the Safs will go to market or be allowed to Explore their options? The club cannot have a cap that front rower heavy. It’s madness.

To be fair, our squad depth is pretty great. We used to start 13 reserve graders on a weekly basis not too long ago. Looks like we actually have a top 30 that's NRL standard. Gotta give big wraps to the club for that.

Knights cap is pear shaped so regardless of Friz, getting rid of a Saf is preferrable + Leo should be the priority.

Both Safs are that straight up lumbering front rower of yesteryear.

It's... maybe, probably, the best choice anyway? We know Crossland offers more but not when he's on the field for the entire game, he starts to turn to shit. I suppose he wouldn't be as defending as much at 6 though.
