Meanwhile, the fifth-ranked Jets - sitting on 27 points with fourth-placed Yambuk - are desperate for wins to secure a finals spot.

Boyle has his fingers crossed they will get to face sixth-positioned Wangoom on Saturday at Wangoom.
"If we get the rain we're meant to, I don't think we'll get to play on the day," he said.
Mailors Flat will have four matches to sneak into finals if matches don't go ahead on Saturday.
"I think if we keep playing the way we're playing now, I think we're as good a team as anyone to make fourth spot," Boyle said.
He said the Jets were aiming to win at least four of their remaining five matches.
"At the end of the day if we keep winning we'll play finals," he said.
The Jets have otherwise been flying with two wins on the trot.
"I think our team is beginning to click," Boyle said.
"Our batsmen are starting to play like batsmen.
"The last couple of games we've been putting big runs on the board.
"Our bowling has been good, but our batting is finally taking shape."
The Jets made 182 in a win over Yambuk in early January and then 304 against Killarney a fortnight ago.
Boyle pointed out that none of his batsmen went on to make a century when the Jets clocked up 304.
He top-scored with 83.
The co-skipper is excited by what the Jets could score if they convert their starts into centuries.
