They will return to the pitch on Saturday against Guyra after sitting out round six with the bye.
Captain Matt Schaefer returns after sitting out their previous two matches, including the recent win.
“It was good for our guys to get a win, it had to happen at some stage,” he said.
“With that side we have got, I don't think we were going to put too many losses together in a row.
“It was against one of the good sides in the comp as well.
“I know City was missing a few guys that weekend but we were missing a few as well.”

The last time the two sides met in round two, Guyra got away with the win.
Schaefer said his side haven’t forgotten.
“They gave us a bit of a touch up at the start of the year so I don't think our guys will take it too lightly,” he said.
They head into the game against Guyra close to full-strength minus Andrew Brownlie and Alex Frend.
With Sean Skinner and Max Laurie opening the bowling and limited pace options after them, Schaefer said he will be relying on his spinners.
“I haven't played cricket or been to training so I don't think we will be getting many overs out of myself this weekend,” he said.
“I think we will see a heap of overs out of Will Archer and Dick Heagney.
“The spinners will suit us and, those Guyra boys, it probably won't suit them as much.”
