A word from the Coach, Nik Wolfgramm:
"I'm really looking forward to this one. With a well deserved rest the girls got stuck into training looking forward to this weekend's encounter," he said.
Being fully aware of this week's challenge, our main focus is finishing off what we started. Parramatta came back from behind to beat us a few weeks back, so we are fully aware of the task at hand.
"We need to be able to concentrate for the full 60 minutes to have a chance in advancing to next week's Grand Final."
