West Harbour have tweaked their approach to Saturday’s game against Warringah in an effort to break their run out of outs in 2020.

Wests coach Mark Gudmunson said they had changed the way that they have trained in an effort to get that spark and spontaneity into their game.

“This week has been about us,” Gudmunson said.

“It’s a total focus on all our teams, we have played around with a few things on the S&C side to see if we can get more energy out of the team.

“Warringah are a class act and I don’t expect them to be down for long, so we need to be ready and at Rat Park even more so.

“We have a few players that can play more minutes this weekend which will help us and Dion Spice will be there in the No.9 which gives everyone confidence.

“But we still have one or two out still and are working hard to find a good balance.”

Jack Debreczini got some game time last weekend but his availability is in the hands of his Japanese club.

But he has worked closely with the Wests backs this week and Gudmunson is expecting to see some pay out of his involvement.

It’s the Rats big juniors day and they are hoping to put on a bit of a show for all the local kids that will be there.

A special jersey has been struck with the names of all the registered juniors from all of the Warringah junior clubs.

But the smell of that big loss to Gordon is still about.

Warringah coach Mike Ruthven said: “We took our medicine from last week, had a really good review of the game and had some key areas to work on for the week.

“Wests will be a very good opposition this weekend. They have too many good players and like us will be looking for a good performance.

“If we can limit our errors, be well disciplined and starve them of the footy we are confident that we can get the result we are after.

“Wests are a physical side who compete hard so we will need to bounce back and make sure we are up for that challenge. The boys are looking forward to being back at home and putting on a good performance.”
