What would your 17 be having seen yesterday's game?

Do we know yet

a) whether Addy, Olbison (or others?) are crocked?

b) Who, if anyone, is going to end up before the disciplinary as a result of yesterdays brawl being put on report?

c) if any of the seven injuries from before yesterday are likely to be fit? (Ferguson, Blythe etc)

All of which makes it tough to name a 17 - or even know if we will have 17 lol

Lauaki may get a run off the bench? hope so..

Lowes mentioned on Radio Leeds that Addy tweaked his hamstring (I think) and would likely be out a few weeks.

That being said then id go with. (baring any bans)

Mullaney
Uaisele
Purtell
Ulugia
Henry
Gaskell
Seijka
Sidlow
O'Brien
Clough
Pitts
Walshaw
Walker

Tahraoui
Lauaki/Fleming
Halafihi
Mellor

But these depends on who is still fit and who may cop a ban (thinking Williams may)

Fitness and injury (and potentially suspension) dictates our squad selection already which is inconvenient.

My first choice 17 would be:

Mullaney
Uaisele
Purtell
JPB or Walshaw (fitness concern)
Williams
Gaskell
Seijka
Sidlow
O'Brien
Clough
Pitts
Olbison (injury concern)
Walker

Tahraoui
Lauaki (fitness)
Ferguson (injury)
Mellor

Rotate your squad and go easy on them is all i can say

Disciplinary for the Championship is usually a week on Tuesday after the game so unless its changed it will be the following week where your players will face suspension from yesterday.

I think Siejka & Williams will cop a ban, i think Addy will definitely be out, (with such big squad, Lowes won't risk even the slightest hamstring niggle) I presume Olbison will be out too as he didn't come back on yesterday either.

1. Ulugia
2. Uaisele
3. Shaw (Didn't go to Leeds game but by all accounts he was dodgy under high ball so i would put him centre than wing)
4. Purtell
5. Henry
6. Gaskell
7. Mullaney
8. Sidlow
9. O'brien
10. Clough
11. Pitts
12. Walshaw
13. Walker

14. Halafihi
16. Tahraoui
16. Mellor
17. Bates/Lauaki

Round 2 and we could have 10 players unavailable! Would be tempted to give Bates a go ahead of Lauaki. Don't need to rush players in to action.

Actually a very good point. I wonder if they've changed that now with the new system? If not, it's going to look a little daft if come Super 8s, the goalposts move for some teams. Or even worse if Championship teams wait a week for theirs, but their opponents in the Super League get theirs immediately.

You would hope common sense says Championship disciplinaries are done at the same time now. But RFL and Common Sense go together as much as me and salad.

All I will say is that, 'first choice', teams will go out of the window in many of these games. Any player who isn't 100% shouldn't play - end of. These games are why we have a big squad and team selection should be used to ensure we have a fit and raring to go 'first choice', come the middle eights.

Lauaki out for at least another week, Jimmy said the other day (Fitness Level)) Rotate the players for this one and get some new faces in and see how they go out of training and into a competitive arena. I think it will be a high scoring one sided affair really.

I think we need to try and develop some cohesion in defence so I wouldn't chop and change too much if I could avoid it.

I'd put Walker in the back row at 13 esp if Addy and Olbison are out.

I'd agree that the odd partnership needs to settle a bit, so I'd expect say, Siejka and Gaskell to get some more time together as they are going to be crucial later on. With such a big squad it's going to be hard to keep everyone fit, to be honest.

Is it me or is there a lack of info around injuries? Ferguson ? Blythe ? Peterson ? Even Baille was described as a hamstring pull after Cas game, we all knew that but nothing further. Davies is on crutches, in-growing toe nail or cruciate? Fleming ? Any more I have missed?
