The team finished the home and away season as minor premiers, earning themselves the first week of finals off.
This first week was cut short when lockdown was announced mid-way through the first Saturday of finals.
What the rest of the finals series will look like could be determined in the coming week, with regional NSW expecting an announcement on lockdown in the coming days.
Should the lockdown end on September 10, it will be a top-four final, but clubs will still have several decision to make.
Greens league tag coach Dan Watt was pleased to see his team sticking together during lockdown.
"The lockdown has opened up their communication a lot more ... everyone has been training themselves and posting and sharing their results with each other," he said.
"They are really getting around each other and supporting each other. They've got a good culture happening at the moment. From what I have seen since the start of the year until now, there has been a lot of growth."

Watt was hopeful the league tag side would be given the chance to play for the 2021 premiership should lockdown end.
"They've had a really good season so far and they've worked really hard," he said.
"It would be a shame if they can't have a crack at it, but we'll just have to see what happens."
