Dimma said today that Towner and Baker will keep their spots.

No Soldo as a second ruckman either. We're happy to stick with just one ruck in Nank.

------------------------------------------------------

Dion Prestia will miss with a fractured rib, with hard-nut Anthony Miles, who trained with the squad of 26 on Thursday, a chance to play just his second game for the season.

"He's in the squad, once again we'll see how training goes and after that, but last week was his first game back from a week or two off (with a concussion suffered in the VFL).

"What we know we'll get from Milesy is a huge contest if he comes in and plays. It's certainly part of the equation for us, to figure out who that is, but we'll see how that pans out this afternoon."

Callum Moore was omitted last week, returned to the VFL and kicked five goals, but Hardwick confirmed Jacob Townsend, along with last week's debutant Liam Baker, would hold their spots.

Others to take train with the senior squad who did not play last week were key back Ryan Garthwaite, running defender Corey Ellis, winger Connor Menadue and first-year player Patrick Naish, who Hardwick suggested was unlikely to play.

Premiership heroes Jack Graham (shoulder) and Dan Butler (ankle) are unavailable for at least another week, while Bachar Houli (groin) will return via the VFL on Saturday.

Anthony Miles is a chance to fill Prestia’s role after returning in the VFL last week.

Get the impression that it will only be Prestias replacement as the only change unless there’s another injury we don’t know about based on dimmas presser.

And that unknown injury would be broad  :thumbsdown
