Northern Suburbs and Warringah have both been brilliant in the back end of the 2016 regular season. The Shoreman have won 10 straight matches and secured a top three finish with a come from behind victory over Manly last week. Warringah have been just as good and have dropped just one match in their last eight appearances – which included draws against Eastwood and Sydney Uni – and head into the finals full of confidence after beating Randwick last weekend. “From my experience momentum is very important,” Warringah coach Greg Marr told Rugby News. “The team is learning how to win in different situations by adapting our strategies to do what is required to win. That brings confidence and self-belief. We now know what to do to keep winning.” Norths coach Simon Cron is just as pleased with his side’s preparation. “To be honest we didn't play our best rugby in some stages last week but being able to fight back from behind was a good experience for our boys,” he said
