PENRITH Rams coach Craig Sharp expects a complete performance from his side when they take on UNSW/ES at Village Green, Kensington, tomorrow at midday.

The Rams have slumped to two consecutive losses in the Sydney AFL division one competition, including a two-point loss to North Shore last weekend.

Sharp is hoping his team perfect their new game plan for a full match.

"If we can play for four quarters instead of two or three like we have been the results will come," he said.

"It's a new game plan we adopted in the pre-season and it has been a steady progress.

"It is a matter of putting it all together on match day. The competition has also become a lot more even since Manly have been promoted."

Jay Edwards and Max McNamara are expected to be back for the Rams but they have also lost Michael Ross and Tom Noble to injuries.

Sharp expects a tough game against UNSW/ES tomorrow.

"Having Jay back will be good we missed him last weekend," he said.

"UNSW/ES is a bit of an unknown quantity as their team changes every year.

"But I do know it won't be a walk in the park as every time I have come against them they've been really competitive."
