Brett Ratten will be forced into at least four changes for the trip from Sydney to Cairns with Jarryn Geary (shoulder) and Mason Wood (hamstring) injured and Seb Ross and Tim Membrey returning home to Victoria for family reasons. It leaves the Saints light on availabilities with Max King to be assessed after aggravating a back complaint during half-time in the loss to Sydney and James Frawley (shoulder) and Darragh Joyce (concussion) also facing tests. Young defenders Oscar Clavarino and Nick Coffield remain on the edge, while Dan Butler was another who was quiet. Medical sub Tom Highmore will join emergencies Jack Lonie, Ben Long and Paul Hunter in the frame. Jack Bytel will also be considered, while the Saints have flown mid-season draftee Cooper Sharman in to be with the squad from Adelaide.
R12 medical sub: Tom Highmore (replaced Mason Wood)
Verdict: Highmore, Lonie, Bytel and Long for Geary, Wood, Ross and Membrey. If fit, Frawley for Clavarino. If King doesn't get up, Hunter to come in and push Ryder forward. - Mitch Cleary

Thought Clavarino did enough to keep his spot. Is McKenzie available - at least he has a go.

Frawley for Clavarino hahaha, that's nuts. Chips really shouldn't have been playing this year, especially now that finals are gone.

I hope they roll the dice and give Sharman a run, it might be the only time we’ll get to see him play his natural game before he becomes cannon fodder standing under the high ball 20 out from goal.

Stupidiest thing I have read all year. No way would you do that!
Ryder will be No 1 ruck.
If Hunter comes in it will to give Ryder a break, and to also play forward at times.
