Jordan has kicked 18 goals in two games back from injury, including 13 last week. 

“We’re not going to go throwing our side around because of one player,” Lenon said. “Young Adam Whyte will play on Jordan. He’s been full-back in most of our games and doing a good job and it’s a good challenge for a young kid. Jordan’s obviously a very good player.”

The unbeaten Bombers will be without Brad Langtry (unavailable), Jack Reynolds (concussion), Jeremy Rowe (hamstring), Nate Mooney (quad) and John Hoey (leg) but Lenon said there are no excuses heading into a big game against an opponent he respects.

“I'm not one who dwells on what you haven't got. It can't help us (on Saturday),” Lenon said.

“It’s going to be tough. No doubt about that. They’re obviously in good form. At the start of the year we thought they’d be one of the big improvers this season and they’re starting to put it together.

“I think as a player, these are the games you look forward to. But at the end of the day, it's another game of footy and you stick to what works. You don't go changing things because it's 1 v 2 or it's a final, or whatever.

“It's about trying to improve and getting your game plan right every week.”

Lenon also expressed his concern and support for the Saints in the wake of ruckman Josh Hanlon’s hospitalisation.

After naming an extended squad on Thursday, North Wagga expect to have only change from last week with Charles Shaw coming in. 

Hanlon’s old club, Ganmain-Grong Grong-Matong, has rallied strongly in support of their former player and the Hanlon family.

In a difficult week but one which has highlighted the best of country football clubs, the Lions are also getting behind North Wagga this weekend in a show of solidarity and support.
