Kangaroos to assess options as injuries strike

The Wagga side picked up two injuries to playmakers in their 32-8 loss to Gundagai at Equex Centre on Saturday.

Halfback Jake Mascini went off early with a knee complaint while hooker Eddie Jackson suffered a head knock.

Captain-coach Hayden Ashcroft is considering a number of options depending on how long both will be sidelined.

"We've got Jarrod Lee coming back into the side so he will slot in there nicely for us (if required)," Ashcroft said.

"Trae O'Neill played some decent football (in reserve grade) on the weekend so I will have to do some footage review but there is another possibility there."

Billy Reardon aso slotted in as cover during the loss.

Kangaroos sit on the bottom of the ladder however Ashcroft wasn't too disappointed with the team's performance.

"It is obviously tough going over to Young but after watching the weekend they are definitely beatable," he said.

"I didn't think we played bad football against Gundagai they are just a level above and we were down on troops.

"If we can play 80 minutes and be happy to grind with Young I think we have enough points in us."
