Eastwood (2) v Warringah (5)
Eastwood held off a fast finishing Warringah outfit last weekend to claim a 31-24 victory at TG Millner, with the two sides set to do it all again just seven days later.
Woodies coach John Manenti said he hasn’t spent much time focussing on last weekend’s result and expects a different type of match on Saturday.
“Now that it’s finals, last week and the last 18 rounds matter for nothing. It’s what’s ahead that is the challenge.”
Despite going down by seven points last weekend, Rats coach Greg Marr isn’t trying to change much ahead of Saturday’s must win clash.
“We need to eliminate some basic errors and maintain pressure on Eastwood through field position and retaining possession,” Marr said.
Ben Adams replaces Junior Palau in the only change for the Rats.
