Nhill looking to reverse result
According to one of their coaches, Nhill let Horsham Saints off the chain last time they played in the fourth round of the season.
This week, Trevor Ryan said it will be good to get one back, and he's hopeful the score will be in their favour come the final siren.
The Horsham side, currently the ladder leaders, recorded a 26-point win against Nhill (fourth) back on May 9 at Davis Park.
But all the wiser for the hit-out, Ryan said the side now has the knowledge of where they went wrong.
"We need to be more consistent in front of goal," admitted Ryan.
"We kicked badly in that first round against the Saints, and we know we can even the contest with winning the footy; it's just putting the score on the board where we let ourselves down."
The Tigers kicked double the amount of points the Saints did - 20 to 10, and had four more opportunities to score.
The loss happened despite the best efforts of Lucas Dahlenburg and Matt Kennedy, while Cody Bryan and Reid Kuller were best on ground for the Saints.
Jake McQueen, who contributed a couple of majors during that match, has since been finding his form with the Tigers and is currently fourth in the leading goal-kicking, with 26 goals for the season.
But the Horsham Saints also have the services of Mitch Martin (19) and Rory Taggert (21), who both sit inside the top 10 goal scorers.
While a win for the Saints would further strengthen their position on the ladder, a victory for the Tigers could push them into the first three.
