Their opponents will be the in form Nyngan Tigers.

The Tigers are the third ranked side in this year’s Group XI competition and victory will be a big ask for the sixth placed Magpies.

Forbes have however been lifting at home this season and the Magpies will need to repeat this on Sunday.

The Tigers have a record of four wins and three losses this season.

They come into the match on the back of a humiliating defeat at the hands of the struggling Dubbo Macquarie Raiders.

Macquarie returned to form and dealt the Tigers a 48-16 defeat.

The week before the Tigers struggled to overcome arch-rivals the Cobar Roosters.

Forbes will be keen to avenge the result of the two sides first meeting this year where the Tigers dealt the Magpies a 52-10 defeat.

The Magpies were short on numbers in this original encounter and rust and dropped ball cost the side dearly.

Numbers will not be a problem on Sunday and the Magpies’ game has significantly improved since the opening round.

The Magpies have challenged every side who have travelled to Spooner Oval this season and the Tigers can expect more of the same.

Both sides will be keen to bounce back after heavy defeats last weekend and the competition points will be crucial for both sides.
