After having the bye last week, the Mallee Men have played just the one match this year – a 54-36 loss to Tullibigeal-Lakes United in round one.

“They’ll be pretty keen,’ Mogliotti said of the Mallee Men.

“They’ll be looking to turn their season around, especially after that first round loss.”

Yenda also come into the game on the back of a loss to the Sharks.

The Blueheelers went down 26-22 against TLU on Sunday but despite missing out on the two points Mogliotti took confidence, along with some things to work on, from the game.

“We need to work on defence a bit when they’re going out wide but everyone’s ripping in for each other,” he said.

“We’ve strengthened up our game up the middle a bit, that’s been really good.”

The Blueheelers will be missing a handful of players for the match.

Prop Apolo Taeiloa will be out due to work commitments.

Backrower Josh Curphey and fullback Todd Granger also look set to miss the match through injury, according to Mogliotti.

The match will start around 3pm.
