Despite Elliot Yeo and Nic Naitanui being ruled out for round two, Eagles coach Adam Simpson is confident the younger players will pull through.

Simpson told Adam Papalia on WWOS  his team can cover the loss of its star players.

“Every club has injuries and we can’t use that as an excuse,” said Simpson.

“We’re going to match them.”
