Sydney Rays vs Brisbane City, Woollahra Oval, 3pm AEST
Flanker Jack Dempsey is confident he will be ready to play as many minutes as required in his first game in nearly a year.
Dempsey has been named on the bench and Rays coach Chris Whitaker said the 24-year-old would be likely to play 20-30 minutes against City.
"He won't get too much because it's just step by step. You can't throw someone who's been out for 11 months straight into an 80-minute game," he said.
The flanker said he wasn't putting a limit on his minutes.
"We've tried not to put too much of a limit on there because it's not something I really believe in too much but as much as I can get out there the better," he said.
"I'm not going to go into the game thinking about that or limiting myself. If someone goes down early in the game, I'm ready to go out there and play 70, 80 if I have to."
The Rays are looking to bounce back after an opening loss to the Vikings when they take on Brisbane City and have made a host of changes with a tight week in mind.
Sydney will play three matches in a week, with their rescheduled round one clash against NSW Country next Wednesday and then a match against the Fijian Drua the following Sunday.
