The scars of the battle in the Hunter are there for all to see with Gordon having to rejig their side for the game against West Harbour on Saturday.

Try king Brandon King along with Reece McDonald and Brendan Mitchell will be missing for a few weeks but there is the depth of talent to cope with that number of significant outs.

Wests are on the menu this weekend for the Highlanders and they will have to be in the right frame of mind if they are to get the right result.

Gordon coach Darren Coleman said the injuries were just part of the cut and thrust of footy.
