STURT
Sturt has included two premiership players for its crucial clash with South on Sunday.
Ken Farmer Medallist Mark Evans, who kicked four goals in the Reserves last round, was instantly rewarded for his positive response after being named in the forward pocket.
Rebounding defender Byron Sumner has been listed to start in the back pocket after a jaw injury sidelined him since Round 9.
Forgotten utility Joel Thiele, who impressed in the Reserves with 27 disposals and eight clearances, could play his first League game of the season after appearing in 16 last year.
Mihail Lochowiak has been sent back to the Reserves.
Dual premiership midfielder Aidan Riley will play his 100th Statewide Super League match after making his debut in Round 8 2010.

Should be another good game. South have covered the loss of all their ruckmen well and have been a bit of a surprise packet this year. I reckon they will be too good for the Blues at Noarlunga by a couple of goals.
