Tapau's possible exclusion makes Lodge's effort seem even softer. Marty might be out because he was KO'd two weeks in a row putting his face on the line. What's your excuse Matt? Oh you made a d*** of yourself outside a night club? Yeah nice going.

dont recall Marty getting KOed once this year

Yeah ok not KO'd, but stumbling off the field with a trainer guiding the way isn't fully conscious either. We'll call it a technical knockout if you will.
 
Here's some insight into putting Taupau at lock.
From NRL.com
Taupau a lock to start

Wests assistant coach Matt Cameron's idea to start Martin Taupau at lock this year has proven a masterstroke thus far, and his ground-shaking hit that dislodged the ball from Rory O'Brien on a play one helped turn the tide when the game was in the balance early on in the match.

Defensive coach David Kidwell said it was a "pretty good" hit, but also pointed out that the coaching staff had focused on Taupau being more consistent in sticking to ball-carriers this season.

"Marty's improved out of sight. It's good to see Marty starting. He's an international player now," Kidwell said. "That hit was pretty good, but I think he's more working on his sticking consistency in the tackle. They're nice to have – but as coaches, we'd like to be consistently good in the tackles.

"We sat down early on in the season and identified tackling as one of the areas as we needed to improve on and we've had a big focus on that throughout the pre-season. I think all the guys are seeing the benefits of that."

Looks like Marty will be named, Lovett and Buchanan named to start in VB Cup. http://www.weststigers.com.au/news/2015/03/17/nsw_cup_team_announc.html

He's been named cos teams that play Monday night always name the same side the next day. The fact he was named doesn't really mean anything.

Yep, you could go out and kill someone (or be killed) in a monday night game and you'd still be named on Tuesday.
