Workies will be without three of their enforcers in this weekend's massive road trip to face Orange Hawks after the fallout from last Sunday's win over Bathurst Panthers took a brutal toll on the Lithgow outfit.

Kyle Willmott, Jono Van Veen and Andrew Bain will all be sidelined for Saturday's mammoth showdown with the competition leaders at Wade Park, in which the fourth-placed Workies are chasing an eighth straight win.

Willmott was reported for a high shot in the 16-6 win but successfully had the charge downgraded this week and with his clean record considered as well, was handed a two-game ban.

Van Veen and Bain were slapped with high grade dangerous contact and moderate striking charges, respectively, by the match review committee, but are yet to front the judiciary.

With an early guilty plea Van Veen would serve four weeks and Bain one but should they elect to fight the charges, they won't front the judiciary until next week.

The Central Western Daily understands the match review committee received the required vision from the game late, the players weren't charged until Thursday night and the judiciary process was delayed as a result.

Van Veen is looking at a six-week ban should he fight the charges and be found guilty.

With that process ongoing Workies coach Graeme Osborne chose not to comment on the suspensions, instead focusing on the fact his side remains confident of knocking off Hawks at Wade Park on Saturday.

A full-strength Lithgow side taking down the two blues would've sent an ominous message to the rest of the competition, but an understrength Workies outfit doing so would be downright scary for their rivals.

"When you've won seven games in a row you obviously have a degree of confidence so we're definitely coming to Orange looking for two points," Osborne said.

"Hawks have a couple of very good forwards there and obviously (Hawks captain-coach) Willie Heta likes playing with the space he gets from them, so our main focus is stopping their roll on so he can't get that space."

Lithgow's seven-game streak began back in round eight against Mudgee and although his side had only tasted victory twice before that win, Osborne said there had been glimpses of their potential prior to it.

"When you look at it we were there or thereabouts before (the seven-game streak)," he said.

"There was a couple of close losses we had where we could've won and the only game we really got outclassed in was against Cowra at Cowra, they embarrassed us by 40 points, but we weren't far off in those other losses we'd had.

"There was a few personnel changes in the side and once we got everyone in the right position and on the same page, it all seemed to click."

Hawks and Workies kick-off at 2pm at Wade Park on Saturday afternoon.
