United tackle Garden Suburb at Wayne Richards Park on Saturday as preparations for the upcoming season step up a gear.
Wade expects the Lake Macquarie side to pose a few more questions than United answered last weekend.
“I don’t think we’ll be blown away,” he said.
United will have a few changes to the side who defeated Wallamba 6-0 last weekend, with Harry Gordon and Adam Wright unavailable.
Troy Berecry, Jack Pilgrim and Matt Broderick all return, while under-18 goalkeeper Cameron Higham replaces Wright between the sticks.
“Early on in the season you hope to get a few combinations happening and it would be good for the boys to play for a bit longer,” Wade said.
“We played good for half the game, so I’ll be looking for a performance of around 60 minutes this weekend.”
First grade kicks off at 4pm with reserve grade to start at 2pm.
