Updated: July 30, 2024

Zane Trew Neck Test
Alex Witherden Hip Test
Updated: July 30, 2024

Barrass suffered delayed concussion symptoms after the Western Derby and will join Edwards on the sidelines this week. Multiple concussions this season for Edwards mean the club will be conservative in his management. Trew suffered no concussion after a knock in the opening centre bounce but had concerns about a neck issue, with subsequent scans revealing no structural damage. Witherden experienced hip soreness late last week. Jamieson's season is over as he prepares for knee and ankle surgeries later this week. – Nathan Schmook
