Given Burns is out. We can finally get a 5/8 that passes. Who's your pick?

I would go with Austin. Although I see him as a future lock, Out of him and Seijka he's the most likely to not go MIA.

If Lewis is gone Do we play him at lock and Seijka at 6?? That partnership went well in 20's yesterday although 2 debutants in key postions is risky.

Heck 2 debutants in 1 game is almost non-existant of late

Give Austin a go depending on how he pulled up(he was injured was he not?). If not him the im not really sure, interesting times ahead, probably a stretch to make the 8 now.

Adrian Purtell should play five-eight.

The more times he gets his hands on the ball the better it is.......for other teams

He returned last week. 2 man of the matches since. Yesterday he was lock with Seijka in the 6 and they tore Manly apart.

Seijka is still goes MIA inside our own half and doesn't want to tackle although playing 1st grade might motivate him to lift his workrate. Both GK so can take that role if Coote or Walsh aren't 100% yet.

We need to win 4/6. Lose this week and we are virtually gone as I can't see us beating Melbourne or Dragons. The rest we are a chance.

Austin is more solid player at this stage. However he will run the ball more, rather than pass it. Both are quality kids who I hope have long careers at Penrith.

Kingston will be selected at 5/8th with Seluini to play 80 minutes.

No chance will they give any of the kids a chance! :(

That's why I would love to see him in the backrow next year. Doing a Lewis style on the opposite side.

That's what Elliott would have done. Georgalis has no form in situations like this so it will be interesting to see what he does.

Throw Jennings in at 5/8 and bring Vai Vai back. Atleast Jenko might see the ball then.

Coote can do a bit more kicking and playmaking to compensate.

will not blood new players this late into season when we are fighting to finish in the top 8 simple as that.

Wrong!!!

All will be revealed in time. Happy with the new number 6. How Tighe and Purtell keep there places over Vaivai has got me buggered.

What's chaged? Still have favourites and great players left in NSW Cup

Yeah I got excited when the first name I noticed was one of our wingers, thinking it meant Purtell was dropped. Then after scanning the list properly was again even more disappointed that Burns wasn't our only injury and that was the reason for the debutant.

So our injury list for this week is:

1. Lachlan Coote
2. Michael Gordon
3. Junior Vai Vai - might not be injured, but it's hard to imagine if fit he wouldn't have made the team
4. Timana Tahu
5. Sandor Earl
6. Travis Burns
..
9. Nafe Seluini
..
14. Masada Iosefa

Pretty big injury list at the worst possible time of the season.

Seluini and Vaivai will be named in Windsor. F**ken crazy
