Dylan Wenzel-Halls

Age: 21

A-League record: 11 matches, two goals

After dominating the Queensland NPL, Wenzel-Halls has scored in his past two matches including a 90th minute winner against Sydney FC last time out.

Signed a two-year contract extension and looks the man most likely to lead the Roar line in Taggart's absence.

Nicholas D’Agostino

Age: 20

A-League record: 29 matches, two goals

D'Agostino has made 11 appearances this season without scoring.

A former Australia under-17 representative, D'Agostino hasn't scored in the A-League since his two career goals in the 2016-17 season.

Shannon Brady

Age: 22

A-League record: 15 matches, no goals

Part of the Roar's A-League squad since 2015, Brady has made 15 appearances across five seasons and has only featured for 29 minutes in the 2018-19 campaign.

The former Australian under-20 player is unlikely to force his way past Wenzel-Halls and D'Agostino into the starting XI.

Charles Lokolingoy

Age: 21

A-League record: 13 games, no goals

Signed in the January transfer window from Sydney FC, Lokolingoy is yet feature for the Roar as his club waits for medical scans to be ticked off.

An Australian under-23 player, the Congo-born Lokolingoy offers size and strength but is unproven at A-League level.
