“Our striker Yinka (Ilayinka Sunmola) and Rhys (Ormond) really compliment each other.

The three on their day can be very deadly.

“Yinka has been with the club for a while and played a bit of first grade and 20s and he’s fast and good on the ball. When he’s on his scores for you.

“Rhys Has good vision, good passing range and chips in with goals.

“As usual the strikers get the accolades.’’

The coach said other players to watch include Ranger captain Ivan Sunjic.

“He’s very strong, a good one defensively,” he said.

“All three centrebacks are good with Tristan (Vidic) and Blake (Stewart).’’
