"He's [Dadd] been massive for us this year up forward," Vaisey said, adding that "a couple of newer" players would also be absent for the clash against Moree-Narrabri.
Vaisey - who will attend an engagement party on Saturday - said the Roos were "lucky" to have greater player numbers this year.

The side, he said, would be "a little bit light on" player wise on Saturday.
Tamworth are attempting to emerge from a prolonged funk in recent years, and are chasing a third win from four matches this round.
"Any win on the road in our comp is a big win," Vaisey said, adding that the Roos are still eyeing this season "from a development point of view". "And anything that leads from that is a bonus," he added.
