Leeton Greens taking on Darlington Point Coleambally in Group 20 first grade

The Leeton side has made a barnstorming start to their centenary season and will look to continue that start when they take on the 2019 premiers.

For coach Hayden Philp it is a case of wanting to continue the good work from the opening five rounds.

"We still aren't completing to a high standard, and if we play better sides like Point, you give them that high error rate they are going to take full advantage of it," he said.

"We have been pretty fortunate that our defence has held our most sides."

The Greens defence is by far the best of the competition so far, having only conceded 42 points so far this season across their five games and have the best points difference of 144.

This weekend will see the Roosters come to town off the back of a couple of close defeats, with their side currently struggling with injuries with a number of first-choice players currently on the sideline.

Despite this, Philp knows they can't be taken lightly come Sunday.

"They will be the benchmark this year," he said.

" I know we have won all of our games, but there is a reason why they are the reigning premiers.

"Not sure how they are going with players, but I have no doubt they will be raring to go to beat us."

The Greens, on the other hand, will be coming into the game with an unchanged line up with the only long-term injury at this stage being to Baz Blackett, who injured his elbow in the season opener against the Black and Whites.

"Everyone else is back and no injuries from the weekend, which is good," he said.

"Shan (Bradbrook) had a bit of a rest last night just on the bike and took it pretty easy, but he should be right."

The success of the side has been largely built around the partnership between Will Barnes and Cameron Bruest, who have settled into the side well, having come to the Greens at the start of the season.

"They bring a lot of structure to the side, and they are only continuing to build each week," he said.

"Shan there as well, and then the experience of Daniel Watt and Scarry coming back with the older heads there it has definitely helped out.

"It's not just Cam and Will. It is everyone putting in that effort."

The Greens will look to add another feather to their cap to start the season when the game kicks off at around 3pm.

Action at No 1 Oval will get underway with the League Tag at around lunchtime.
