The Gold Coast SUNS have made two changes to the team to take on GWS at GIANTS Stadium.
As reported in the Alpha Sport Injury Update, Ben Ainsworth will miss at least the next six weeks of football with a broken foot.
On Thursday, Stuart Dew confirmed Touk Miller would again miss this week’s match as he recovers from a lingering heel injury.
Defender Jarrod Harbrow won’t travel to Sydney, withdrawn from the side with a groin complaint after failing to complete Thursday’s training session.
George Horlin-Smith returns for his first match since Round 7 after a strong performance in the NEAFL last weekend.
He joins Josh Schoenfeld who has also been rewarded for his impressive NEAFL form, earning a call-up to start on the interchange.
The match kicks off at 1:45pm on Saturday.
