Still no Tim Kelly or Harley Reid through the midfield, Dom Sheed is unavailable while Jai Culley has been omitted, Liam Ryan was used at 34.8% of team centre bonces last game while Jack Petruccelle has been used through the middle of the ground this season. Liam Duggan is also an option to be used through the midfield which would open up a spot behind the ball, there may be a decent spread of players used at centre bounces.
