Souths v Wests being showed on Thursday night rather than Eagles/Cows or Raiders/Panthers is a gee up. They're close to the 2 worst teams in the competition right now.
Gavet and Lane will add some size and strength to the Warriors forwards. Look forward to seeing what Lane can do on debut actually.
Yeh I'd probably drop Evans and use Liu as a prop with Guerra @ lock. I think lock really simplifies the game for him and he deserves a chance to prove himself there again. His game against the Dragons is best I've seen from him since 2014.
