They'll be Taree City's goals for the remainder of the Group Three Rugby League season.
The Bulls meet fellow strugglers Forster-Tuncurry tomorrow at the Jack Neal Oval. Forster's won just one game this year - against the Bulls at Tuncurry in early May, while the Bulls have yet to open their account.
Taree captain-coach Trae Clark remains convinced the Bulls can put a competitive side on the park. He said injuries to key players have hit the side hard. And he pointed out that for the majority of matches Taree's been in the fight for an hour or so, but lapses prove costly and they leak points.
The Bulls will welcome middle forward Rob Mason back for the clash against the Hawks along with halfback Dylan Towers.
"Rob's very important for us,'' Clark said.
"He gives us go forward and he's part of our leadership team. It's good to have him back.''
Towers has missed the majority of the year and the Bulls have struggled to find a replacement. Clark hopes that Towers and Mason will add a bit of stability to the side.
However, he said Kieran Cochrane is in doubt and a call was to be made last night as to whether he'd take his place
"That seems to be the way, we get a couple of players back, but then lose a couple more,'' Clark said.
If fit Cochrane will partner Towers in the halves.
The first grade game will start at 5pm.
