I know we want to get a good look at Thurlow before we potentially upgrade him, plus get him as much practice so we can bring him up to speed asap, but given that he's really our only real back-up ruckman I'm half inclined to wrap him in cotton wool.

It'd make a lot more sense to wrap Paddy in cotton wool. Bar match fitness, don't know what he's getting out of this game - whereas Thurlow needs as much exposure to good quality opponents as possible.
