Tooleybuc Manangatang coach Dean Helmers says they've already been looking to recruit for next season, with just two rounds to play in the Central Murray.

The Saints return to Manangatang on Saturday, for their last home game of the year. The week after will be Lake Boga on the road.

But coach Dean Helmers says recruiting is something they're already looking at.

"Obviously I took the job on pretty late, so it was pretty hard to bring in a lot of players. Most players that are worth their salt are already well and truly signed by that time.

We'll work pretty hard to try and make sure we crop up. With the points system we're a little bit restricted how many we can bring in, so if we can bring in five or six quality top end players I think we'll be back in the mix."

The Saints are on the bottom of the ladder, but can leapfrog Koondrook-Barham if they win this weekend against Swan Hill.

Mr Helmers went on to say a lot of games have been tough this year.
