Katamatite, which sits third on the ladder, takes on premiership favourite Tungamah.
While Saunders is looking forward to the challenge, he said he wouldn’t have a full side at his disposal.
“Unfortunately, it’s looking that way,” he said.
“Andrew Taylor (osteitis pubis) will be out and we’re still waiting on a few fitness tests for a few others.
“It’s a massive game.
“Tunga are obviously the pick of the bunch at the moment and we know we’re going there to take on the hardest task in the Picola league.”
Despite being understrength, Saunders said the Tigers were still out to stun the unbeaten Bears.
“We’ll be having a bit of a chat about our effort and that type of thing,” he said.
“We need to make sure we do all the right things, regardless of who is in the side.
“When we do the little things well, we’re good.”
