However, it could be easier said than done against a near full strength Waratahs outfit on the road who have only lost two games all season.

Wagga Ag College sits just three points behind the Steamers in the battle for the remaining spot in the finals, but must upstage Tumut away from home to come into calculations.

Tumut also has  plenty to play for, with a bonus point win and a loss to Wagga City against Leeton allowing them to leap into the top three and get the all-important double chance.

Therefore, an Ag College loss will allow Albury-Wodonga to sneak in by the barest of margins.

Blake Le Cornu has been named at fullback for the Border outfit, with James Devlin shifted to the halves to join Josh Gemmell.

The Steamers will take confidence from their vastly-improved performance against the undefeated Phantoms last start, losing 59-20, which was a far cry from the 107-0 thumping in round six.

Albury-Wodonga suffered a 43-29 loss in their last meeting with Waratahs and will again be underdogs at Conolly Rugby Complex.

After taking a surprisingly narrow win over Griffith last week, Waratahs welcome James Daley to the front row, while Xavier Chigwidden, Tim Corcoran and Euan Bonner come in at five-eighth, inside centre and fullback, respectively.
