So after today's game who would we have and where?

FB: Kearney
RW: Crookes
RC: Purtell
LC: Lulia
LW: Kear
SO: Sammut
SH: Gale
PR: Scruton
HK: L'estrange/Diskin
FR: Hargreaves
SR: Bateman
SR: Sibbit
LF: Langley

Replacements:
Burgess
Joseph
Donaldson
L'estrange/Diskin/O Brien (depends if L'estrange is ok)

Took a lot of

to get that as we don't seem to have much strength in depth this year

Still........... Bring on Super League 2012

Whilst I liked the look of Purtell on the wing in the NRL, I hadn't seen him play centre before Sunday. I think he deserves a few more games to settle into our team before claiming he cannot be one of the 1st choice centres at the club. It's not like we have a queue of top class centres ready to replace him either!!

Only problem with that Mick is that I'm not convinced that our other options are an improvement. Sammut can certainly change a game bit he's just as inconsistent as BJ. Whilst I still think Briggs is long term solution his performances aren't warranting giving him a chance at the moment I'm afraid.

Best case scenario (all but O Brien, Elima, Olbison, Manase are passed fit to play) I'd line up as follows:

Kearney
Kear
Purtell/Walker
Lulia
Ainscough/Pryce/Purtell
Sammut
Gale
Kopczak
L'Estrange
Scruton
Langley
Hargreaves
Donaldson

Diskin
Burgess
Joseph
Bateman/Sibbit

Worst case scenario in which half our team is missing, I don't even want to think about

Kearney
Purtell
Pryce
Lulia
Kear
Sammut
Gale
Koppy
L'estrange
Scruton
Walker
Langley
Bateman

Hargreaves
Burgess
Diskin
Sibbit
