The PNG side is currently in fourth spot on 22 points behind second-placed Wynnum Manly Seagulls and Ipswich Jets while Tweed Heads hold ninth spot.
Wynnum Manly and Jets are also on 22 points following their mandatory two points from byes and maintain those positions due to superior percentage worked out using points for and against.
