INJURY & SUSPENSION NEWS:
BRENT DANIELS - The value forward option failed to see out the game after a calf injury which will see him face time out.
HARRY SHEEZEL - Sheezel was seen to during the game for a corked thigh but managed to play out the game should be fine.
NICK WATSON - Surprised to see his ownership, but he didn’t play at all in the second half vs Giants with hamstring tightness.
