Gower is playing well enough to keep his spot. Lussick and Allgood are injured so they are gone anyway. I think its time to bring Fui back for short bursts from the bench. We need some bite in the middle of the field. I think Mossop will come in as well.

Allgood isn't injured but is looking at a week dangerous throw charge
I agree Gower will not be dropped as this is the first game where he played terribly, if we won and he played terrible nobody will mention it, he hasn't been a standout but he hasn't been noticed costing us a game or playing poorly, hes been average and doing his job.
I think BA should pick a certain team when versing certain oppositions...its easy to stick with the same17 every week but I reckon a few strategical changes should be made when playing a team like the Cows coz of their brutally huge forward pack! our full strength backline will be back this week: Hayne,Semi,Hoppa,Tonga,Sio, Norman,Sandow...then: 8Mannah 9Kelly 10Fui 11Edwards 12Ma'u 13SeffaPaulo,,, 14Pritchard 15Mossop 16JuniorPaulo 17Pauli...extended bench: Gower,Morgan,Terepo,Tanginoa,Jones....out of the team due to injury are Peats&Lussick,with Allgood expected to serve a 1match suspension! & Hunt to go back to Wenty...I'm not saying this has to be the line-up every week,but for this specific game I believe a bit of grunt & mongrel is needed....this forward pack can allow Haynesy to do his thing & set up our lethal backs to finish...! plus we need a big game from our halves too,coz we all know how good the opposition halves are
"I remember watching him in nsw cup. He was at left centre with Naiduki on the wing. I remember every week saying he should make his nrl debut. He was such a good defender at 18/19 years old. I would argue since then that his attacking threat has…"
"Michael, you are dumb. Doesn't mean you are a bad bloke.
The whole game of managing a roster is value for money. Will Penisni gets paid the same as the great Centres in the game and he isn't one. Move him on, it's not harder than that. Hos brother…"
"He did and he more importantly has this tendency to switch off and look despondent and defeated and his effort goes down by 30 %.
I made my piece that he might not reach the potential we hoped of him becoming an origin level back, which he was…"

Allgood's already out, 1 week even with an early guilty plea.
Mossop's available and played for Wenty on the weekend. He's now played a couple of NSW Cup matches and must be close to first grade.
I just think our forwards lack aggression.
Gower is good but he's not the type of player that will belt a forward pack like the cowboys.
We need to really smash them if we have any chance. If we nullify there forwards we will nullify J.T
