Percentage is the only thing that separates Southcity and Young heading into their clash at Laurie Daley Oval.

Both are two points behind ladder leaders Tumut and also two clear of Gundagai in the compact top four.

With losses against last year's grand finalists in the past month, Bulls captain-caoch Nathan Rose is looking to use the clash to build momentum for the second half of the season.

"We're just looking to get a win again and start building for the back end of the season," Rose said.

"It was a tough game there in Young and it was good to come away with the win there but it was early in the season so they would have improved and we would like to think we have to.

"It is going to be a tough game."

Southcity scored a 28-24 win over Young when the teams met at Alfred Oval to start the year.

It was the last of a string of four wins to start the season but they've mixed their form since with two losses in the past three games.

Southcity produced far too many mistakes in their 20-12 loss to Gundagai before the general bye.

It's the thing Rose believes the team needs to address.

"Coming off a loss we just need to hold onto the ball a bit better," he said.

"If we can do that we are going to give ourselves a good opportunity to win the game.

"As long as we're not shooting ourselves in the foot hopefully we can give it a good shake."

Southcity have made a couple of changes.

They welcome back Daniel Foley and Connor McCauley after both missed the clash with the Tigers.

However Brody Tracey will miss the clash.

"He copped a bit of a head knock against Gundi so we're taking a bit of precaution with him," Rose said.

"He's having the week off as he had one a bit earlier in the year.

"The doctor's advised to have a week off so he could freshen up."

Young have named an unchanged team from the one who put in a powerful second half display to get the better of Kangaroos last time out.

However there are doubts over the fitness of winger Jake Veney.

"There's a few under injury clouds that I'm watching," coach Nick Hall said.

"Veney has been playing really well in the past few weeks and scoring a few tries but got a busted schnozz and a whack to the arm in the last play of the game against Roos.

"He's been pretty uncomfortable and is 50-50."
