Head Coach Warren Moon has named an identical extended 20-man squad to the one he took into last Wednesday night’s 2-1 win over Melbourne Victory.
Moon has stood firm with the same 20 players for what will arguably be the Roar’s biggest test since the restart of the Hyundai A-League season up against third-placed Wellington Phoenix in Newcastle (6pm kick-off).
The two sides have split the ledger with a home win apiece this season with Dylan Wenzel-Halls securing the crucial goal in the last meeting back in January.

Scott McDonald enters the contest on the back of five goals in as many games in what will be his first meeting against the Nix in Roar colours.
New Zealand international & former Nix squad member Matthew Ridenton is in contention for the contest.
