Cuthbo couldn't have been seen in jumper 20 in Auckland because he was in jumper 16 playing at Wentworthville. Cuthbo played premier league as rumoured and set up Manly's only two tries with his classic offloads.
Let's put this another way. If there are 19 playes named and Des takes 17 plus an 18th man (which is usual when travelling) that means one will go back to Premier League. Who do you all think that should be? I don't agree that it should be Cuthbo do you?
Thinks his fitness might be compromised because he hasn't played for two weeks. Can't remember any other player from NRL having to come back through Premier League when they have come back from injuries/suspension etc!!!
