“We had a bye before interleague so we should be very well rested coming into this game – we have a few coming back to the side from work commitments,” Jakobi said.

Pimpinio is searching for its first win, while Rupanyup is struggling with injuries and has not won since round one. 

“The key for us to is to keep optimistic and we think this is a game we should really be trying to push for a win,” Jakobi said. 

“We can’t come into the game with a bad mentality. We want to win this game. I told the boys at training this week we need to be positive and keep our heads up.”

Pimpinio is enjoying a healthy injury list at the moment. 

“I don’t think we have too many injuries at this stage, so it is all looking pretty good,” he said.
