The road to the decider
Macksville were the form side of the back half of the finals series. Their 30–12 win over Sawtell in the preliminary final was comfortable enough that they arrive at Coffs Harbour with momentum rather than bruises.
Woolgoolga took the direct route and have had the extra week. Whether that reads as freshness or rust is the question every grand final week asks, and it usually comes down to how the first twenty minutes go.
