They play at Dixie Park after having a few weeks off. He admits their lack of game time and training time, due to weather, could be a problem.
“We probably would have liked to keep playing. We just have to wait and see if it will impact the boys,” he said.
“With the wet weather we haven’t trained for four sessions. We did a light run on Tuesday night on the road, but we haven’t spoken about the game as such.
“We should have everyone available so we will go in with a full strength side.”
United will be looking for redemption after Kempsey beat them in the first round, and despite the difference in ladder position – United in fourth and Kempsey in sixth – Wade said it has been a very even competition.
“Every game is close. If you aren’t on your game you get beat,” he said.
“We have a full team (so) we’re quietly confident.”
