Hoole missed our win over Newcastle due to a minor groin complaint whilst McGlinchey sustained soft tissue bruising on his foot against Wellington which resulted in a clash with Andrew Durante.
On the injury front, Tommy Oar is the only player missing from training at the moment with Corey Gameiro back to full training with the squad for the past two weeks.
