The Marist Brothers Rams will look to continue their winning run when they take on the Evans Head Bombers at Stan Payne Oval on Saturday.
The Rams looked impressive against the Byron Bay Red Devils last weekend, adding another win to the tally, taking the match 42-6.
Halfback Shallin Fuller had a great day out, scoring 26 points of his own, with 2 tries and 9 conversions in the 36-point victory.
Forward Jack Elmore and Noah King both crossed for doubles.
The clash with the Bombers will be a much tougher test for the Rams, with Evans Head sitting in fifth position, just 2 points behind Brothers, who currently sit in third place on the ladder.
Coach Darryl Butcher has made several changes to the starting lineup, with Lachlan Offley and Will Woolley named in the 4 and 12 jumpers, respectively.
The interchange bench is an impressive one, with James Durheim, Kye Cooper and Ethan Mumford among the talent to come off the bench.
The day will start with Reserve Grade at 12:00pm, with what should be a close, hard-fought match between two sides that are separated by just 1 point on the table.
The Ladies League Tag will follow at 1:30pm, with the Ramettes looking for another win to cement themselves in semifinal contention. The Ladies currently sit in fourth position with two games in hand of the teams around them.
First Grade will kick off at the normal time of 2:45pm.
In other local matches, Northern United will host the Tweed Coast Raiders at Crozier Field on Sunday, with First Grade kicking off at 2:45pm.
