That's the opinion of five of the seven non-competing coaches ahead of Saturday's grand final between Griffith and Wagga Tigers at Narrandera Sportsground.
Only Coolamon co-coach Jamie Maddox and Ganmain-Grong Grong-Matong coach Christin Macri tipped Wagga Tigers.
MCUE coach Jeremy Rowe believes the Conlan brothers could prove the difference.
"Both sides have had terrific seasons and are deserved of their grand final spot," Rowe said.
"Both are very hard to stop when they've got momentum. I lean towards Griffith due to their tall targets forward, which will be critical for times when the ball gets sent forward in the hurried fashion that grand final's bring."
Outgoing Collingullie-Glenfield Park premiership coach Luke Gestier believes last year's experience will hold the Swans in good stead.
"Recent history will tell you, you have to lose one to win one," Gestier said.
"Grtiffith have had their hiccups are are primed this time round."
