Feels like a must win really.

We win and Wigan & Wire beat Leeds & HKR then we go back to 7th.

We lose and the play-offs start looking a bit further away. Its on Sky, and the boys will want to bounce back from the Magic weekend with a win, and I imagine they'll want to get the win for Purtell aswell, i'm sure it'd give him a boost seeing us back in the play-offs.

Platt back into centres, O'Brien to replace Diskin. If Langleys back then shift Elima to prop.

We're really struggling for props, it might be the time to ask Langley to play prop?

Elima ad Whitehead in 2rd row, with Bateman at loose.

Would like to see Addy back on the bench as well, he's played well of late.

I'd also drop Chev and call in Olbison (if available).

Chev's injured and out for a while, anyway. We could do with Scrutes back a bit sooner than expected, or maybe give Tom a bit more time on the field, or yeah Langers to prop, it's where most quality second rows finish up anyway; just a matter of timing......
We can work with what we've got (we've been doing it all season, to be fair) but it leaves us with not much in reserve. Why oh why do we always seem to be treading water on the injury front?

I would imagine Elima is more likely to play prop than langley based on past selection.

This. Still a good squad.

Deffo a must win game. They will want to do it for Purts I am sure.

It might be a case of bring your boots though everyone.

yeahh, to say we have 8 or so decent/regular players missing, we still have a team that should compete and possibly beat classy cas

I 2 am dreaming of a miracle, but more praying for Purts xxx

You seem to have the beating of Cas at the moment. Some Cas fans are calling it the worst Cas team ever, that's rubbish but they are struggling. Millward struggling to enforce discipline & clear out the old culture.

No Bateman?

think people are totally overlooking joseph, who after all was signed as backup for props, and also sibbit who's due back from injury this week or next and is capable of playine either prop or 2nd row.

We still have enough quality on the team - sheet for Monday - just need to avoid giving them a couple of tries start to allow them a sniff of the points

I didn't overlook Joseph, just thought he was still injured.

I saw some media this morning stating Sibbit is nearing a return. If this is the case, then yes we could play him at prop/2nd row.

TBH I'd forgotten he'd got a knock, but he is due back around now. Sibbit was in paper last week saying he was just about ready to return. The new injuries certainly arent ideal but on positive side its a chance for likes of O'brien,Olbison and Addy to stake a claim for a starting spot. and Platt, who got a hat-trick game before last and Ainscough, who should be fired up trying to earn an extension, arent terrible replacements for Purtell and Kear.

Sorry thought I'd put Bateman in, if Joseph was fit I'd play him on Bench and start Burgess but he isn't fit.

Also move Olbison for Bateman on my team.

The 19 man squad is:

Ainscough, Addy, Bateman, Burgess, Elima, Gale, Hargreaves, Jeffries, Joseph, Kearney, L'Estrange, Lulia, Manuokafoa, O'Brien,

Thats only 14 players

OK lets try this again

Langley isn't in squad. One off addy/olbison to take bench 2nd row spot?

Whats wrong with Langley, yes, Olbison to bench.

Still out with achilles problem that kept him out last week afaik.
