THE Farrer League's "man of the moment" says North Wagga must take its form on the road to Coleambally tomorrow to give itself every chance of rolling the Blues.
Troy Curtis is still pumped up from a 10-goal haul during the Saints' big 119-point win over The Rock-Yerong Creek on Saturday.
The 21-year-old defender-turned-forward put on a goal kicking masterclass as he booted 10.4 in a dominant display on McPherson Oval.
Having made the move from the backline to a key forward role just last year, Curtis' previous best effort was seven goals in a game.
"I'd been in a bit of a slump lately so that was a massive confidence boost for me," Curtis said.
"But I was getting really good delivery too so it was a massive game for the whole team."
Focusing on the task at hand, Curtis knows it is critical North Wagga now tries to replicate Saturday's effort when it travels to take on Coleambally this weekend.
"...it was a massive game for the whole team."

The Blues are arguably the in-form team of the entire competition and are notoriously tough to beat on their home soil.
A win to the Saints could potentially rocket them up the ladder from fifth spot, but a Coleambally victory would further cement its place on top of the standings.
Curtis says the players are determined to put in a good showing.
"It's all in the mind when you go over there (Coleambally) I reckon," Curtis said.
"We need to get out and have a strong start to give ourselves a chance.
"We haven't done too well over there over the years so it will be good to get the monkey off our back.
"We need to beat Coly and get that extra confidence heading into finals."
North Wagga will lose tough onballer Sam Burley for the remainder of the season thanks to a badly broken leg sustained during Saturday's win.
The Saints will be hoping to welcome back Corey Watt and Aaron Guymer who both missed the game.
