But Outlaws coach Brett Archer knows his men will have to work for it.

While the Outlaws and Giants have enjoyed vastly different fortunes this season – the Bushrangers outfit has lost once while their Bathurst rivals only boast one win – Archer is taking nothing for granted.

He knows the Giants players will be aiming to end the season with a good performance in Saturday’s final round match.

“They will come out against us hard, they won’t want to lose to another Bathurst side,” Archer said.

“They’ll come out fired up, I am sure that they will. You take it one win at a time, you don’t expect wins to come and go easily.

“We’ve still got work to do to prepare ourselves for the semi-finals, so if our guys don’t come out firing for this, then I’ll be pretty disappointed.

“The week after Cowra is going to be very, very strong, so we can’t come out tentative. We need to get all our final preparations for the semi-final down.”

Giants coach Mark Kennedy will not draw on his talented under 18s this Saturday, opting to let them prepare for their looming finals campaign.

It means he is not sure exactly what the make up of his squad will be, but he knows those that do pull on the orange jersey will play with heart.

“We need to make sure the under 18s are going to be right for their finals, so we need to try and get as many senior guys on deck as we can,” Kennedy said.

“We might be a little bit short on numbers, but we are aiming to be competitive and we aim to improve every game that we play.

“It is like any organisation, you need to keep up that gradual improvement.

“We need to put plenty of pressure on up the middle of the paddock – the same as every other week. I am not sure who we will have available, but we will have a go.”

One factor Kennedy hopes will assist his men is that the match will be played on George Park 1 instead of George Park 2.

The Giants consider that top field as home turf and the smaller playing surface could make it a little trickier for the Outlaws.

“It’s going to be played on the top oval, it’s our home ground, so hopefully that helps us out a bit,” Kennedy said.

“It’s a smaller field so you can put a lot more pressure on their ability to run the ball and use the flanks. 

“It compresses the football a bit more, which should make it a bit harder for them.”

Opening bounce at George Park 1 will be at 2.30pm on Saturday, while the under 18 Giants will do battle with Young from 11.45am.
