With a number of players set to miss through injury, the SUNS Match Committee will have plenty to ponder ahead of QClash 14 against Brisbane.

As confirmed in the Optomo Injury Report, Saturday’s clash could see Jarryd Lyons return from his ankle injury to bolster the midfield stocks.

Midfielders Michael Rischitelli and David Swallow both came out of last week’s team but will be strong chances to take on the Lions.

With the news that Captain Tom Lynch is out for the season, Gold Coast may go into the game with a smaller forward line than normal.

If that was the case, Ben Ainsworth, Callum Ah Chee and Brandon Matera would all be strongly considered should they get through training on Thursday.

Draftee Jack Bowes travelled to Perth as an emergency and will continue to press his case for selection.

The SUNS’ NEAFL team had been in good form prior to last week’s bye, with youngsters Will Brodie and Brad Scheer among those continuing to develop their craft.
