If you're anything like me, you're feeling pretty disappointed with today.

But next week is another week. So my question is 'Given what we saw today, what would be your 17 for the Castleford game?'

I'm assuming Elima, Manu and Pryce are injured.

I'll go for

Kearney
Ainscough
Lulia
Purtell
Kear
Sammut
Gale
Kopczak
L'Estrange
Langley
Whitehead
Walker
Addy

Diskin
Hargreaves
Donaldson
Burgess

I'll wait and see who's fit first. I hope Bateman is as he's in front of Sibbitt and Donaldson for me and of course Whitehead is back.

How far off are Elima and Manuokafosoa (no idea on spelling that)?

I think Elima and Manu are a few weeks off....sadly

And I assuming that Bateman is a serious injury, or at least enough to keep him out next week. If I'm wrong and it was just a bang, then I'd have him at loose instead of Addy. I don't see Bateman as a second rower.

Kearney
Ainscough
Lulia
Purtell
Kear
Sammut
Gale
Kopczak
L'Estrange
Burgess
Whitehead
Walker
Donaldson

Diskin
Hargreaves
Langley
Scruton

Kear
Pryce
Walker
Lulia
Purtell
Sammut
Gale
Scruton
L'etrange
Koppy
Whitehead
Langley
Bateman

Diskin
Burgess
Joseph
Addy

If they're out then after today I'd go with...

Kearney
Crookes
Purtell
Lulia
Kear
Sammut
Gale
Koppy
Diskin
Langley
Walker
Whitehead
Addy

Burgess
Joseph
Donaldson
L'estrange

On further thought, I think I'd want to give Joseph a shot

I'd put him on the bench ahead of Hargreaves in my 17 in the opening post

Manuokafosoa was hoping to be back next week thats what he said at Hull last week.

Anybody know what Batemans injury was? Looked like a dislocated shoulder or broken arm to me.

Hyperextended elbow.

Hopefully Lulia will be passed fit, from what I have seen from him in the NRL he will be a welcome improvement to our backline. For all his effort, Walker still isn't the answer at centre.

Wayne Bennett told his NRL All Stars Team before they went out "the first battle is between your ears"
I get the feeling that the problem is mental fragility not a physical one!

It is, and as many people keep saying, there is a losing mentality running through this club at the moment. Only a few are showing the desire to win. Most need to harden the f**k up.

Kearney
Crookes/Ainscough
Lulia
Purtell
Kear
Sammut
Gale
Kopczak
Diskin
Scruton
Whitehead
Langley
Donaldson

L'Estrange
Burgess
Hargreaves/Joseph
Sibbit/Walker

Only two players missing (Elima and Manase) fom what I consider to be our strongest 17. This game against Cas is far more important than the Catalans game, as I consider Cas to be one of the sides we will be fighting for the last one or two playoff spots.

I have to agree. They give up far too easily.
