The Hawks will be almost at full strength when they meet the Bombers in their Round 1 clash on Saturday night.

Jonathon Ceglar is still recovering from an ACL injury suffered late last season, while Jonathan O'Rourke will remain on the sidelines for the next 4-6 weeks as he nurses an injured right hamstring.

Kaiden Brand and Daniel Howe are both fit and available for selection.
