      I recon Edwards takes the spot.

        Depends on the travelling tho. I imagine maybe (hopefully) Iongi takes Twidle's place for a 40 min run whiel Twidle is 18th man in Suncorp. And for Petrus to maybe take Jordan Hill's place and Edwards then at 13.

        Beattie is already on the bench so not sure if Petrus would come into the team. I actually hope they give Koina a spot this week.

        Though depends if Ryles wants to give Da Silva a break.

      So it probably means that no13 in NSW Cup is H Edwards. Not sure why J Hill in on the bench.

  Twidle is centre for reserve grade and Kautoga lock

The interesting thing is Iongi. He's not on injured list. Hopefully he gets a run in cup for 40 mins.
