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!!

I concur with the last bit in the piece www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... ml&BID=480

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
