The Hoppers are undefeated on top of the ladder, while the Crows have the competition talking after a strong start to the year.

The Crows are in third position with three wins from their opening five games and will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing loss to Collingullie-Glenfield Park last round.

Coolamon has won their of their four games by a combined margin of nine points but Meline is not letting a few close results cloud his judgement.

“Everyone keeps saying that but they’re still winning, good sides win those games when challenged,” Meline said.

“We’re looking forward to the run, it will be a good test for us I think.

“Obviously they’re going along well, they’re undefeated and the yardstick at the moment.

"It's always good to test ourselves.”

Leeton-Whitton will welcome back Mitch Heaslip for Saturday's clash, but will miss Sam Hopper due to representative commitments.

Coolamon will be without Chris Ladhams and Daniel Johnson, but welcome back Dan Ryall and Jesse Rapley for the trip to Leeton.

Nathan Edyvean and Connor Neyland are both 50-50 chances, pending how they pull up from Thursday night training.
