Fifteen rounds down, and we’re at the business end of the season. Collegians have claimed the Minor Premiership and, as a reward, will put their feet up in Week 1.
Defending premiers Wests seem to have their title defence back on track after securing consecutive wins against top-four rivals over the past two weeks.
Dapto and Corrimal are gearing up for their first finals series in several years. Meanwhile, De La Salle is determined to break their finals hoodoo after being eliminated in straight sets in the last two years.
Wests v Dapto
There isn’t much separating these two teams, as Dapto secured an early win in their head-to-head matchups this season. However, Wests has since turned the tables, achieving victories in their last two encounters.
This will be the second time this season that the two teams meet in consecutive weeks; however, there is much more at stake this time, as a spot in the major semi-final is on the line for the winner.
The team that loses will still have a second chance next week in the elimination semi-final against the winner of the De La Salle versus Corrimal match.
Head-to-head
- Wests 14-4 (Round 15)
- Wests 22 Dapto 6 (Round 5, postponed washout round)
- Dapto 24 Wests 14 (Round 10)

De La Salle v Corrimal
You can throw the form guide away when these two teams face off, as both regularly provide players for Jersey Flegg and NSW Cup, which can significantly affect their fortunes.
If you are only as good as your last game, the Cougars have the wood on De La Salle; however, the Shire-based outfit rested key players last week, having already secured their place in the finals.
Expecting both teams to be at near full strength for this one, as there are no second chances. The winner will advance to Week 2, while the loser must look forward to next season.
Head-to-head
- Corrimal 40 De La Salle 12 (Round 15)
- Corrimal 30 De La Salle 0 (Round 5, postponed washout round)
- De La Salle 54 Corrimal 20 (Round 10)
