The side will go in as favourites, after not losing a game during the season, but this is a tag the team should be wary of according to mentor Shane Wallace.

The team will be taking on the Griffith Panthers in the big dance, who will be a worthy opponent.

Wallace said Leeton's rivals in the Griffith Panthers had been improving steadily throughout the season and would be a tough side to come up against.

"The Panthers have some good players who work well together and have a couple on game breakers who top off a well balanced side," Wallace said.

With regard to his own side, Wallace believed their consistency had been a telling factor throughout the year.

"They have been able to put games to bed in style, but also they can dig themselves out of a hole if they have to," he said.
