For a stack of Kurt Beahan's Orange United Warriors, Saturday's Wallerawang Landscaping Cup preliminary final is a first-time occasion for many of the lads and even though a trip to Oberon can be somewhat daunting, the goal for this week is enjoyment.

The Warriors are fresh off a road victory at Cargo as they knocked out the second-placed Heelers and registered their second consecutive postseason triumph after just a one-win campaign.

"I've just tried to keep reminding the team to enjoy the week," Beahan said.

"A lot of these boys haven't played in a do or die semi-final like this. These are the moments you play rugby league for and you've got to enjoy it.

"Kane Smith, our front rower, he's 32 and the last time he played in the finals was in the under 18s."

Beahan's felt his side slowly improving each week and knows if it fires on all cylinders at Oberon, a win is probable.

"We need to understand our potential and play to it," he said.

"We still haven't clicked yet. We've been boosted by some good individual performances but as a team, we haven't had that perfect game yet.

"If we have it on Saturday I'm very confident we can make the grand final."

Oberon Tigers' Dallas Booth is taking an upbeat approach when looking back on the team's Mid West Cup major semi-final loss to CSU Mungoes last week, believing the squad could benefit from the lessons that loss gave them.

The Tigers had been flying high this season until the Mungoes delivered a 14-10 defeat, giving Oberon plenty to think about ahead of this weekend's preliminary final clash with Orange United Warriors.

Thankfully for the minor premier Tigers they get a second chance this finals series and they're determined to make the most of the opportunity.

"We haven't played consecutive games for seven weeks. Finishing first gave us the week off so we haven't had back-to-back games since half way through the comp.

"As much as no-one likes to lose, we get an extra game against the Warriors. It should be a cracking game, but if we're not on our game we will lose. They've found some form and are going to be hard to beat."

Both teams boast excellent workhorse players through the middle of the park, and it will likely be the determining factor for who gets to face CSU again.

Booth expects a great clash there.

"When we played them last time it all happened through the middle. When we go on top there we started scoring points, and when they started playing strongly through there they scored points," he said.

"Both sides have some flair out wide too ... but if the middle isn't going forward, like ours against CSU, then your backs aren't going to be able to do anything."
