The Wanderers had a couple of losses earlier this season (to Kangaroos Red and Young) but hope they're hitting form after wins against Tumba-Batlow (24-10) and Tumut (28-10) in their last two games.
Coach Aaron Faye has had the group since they were six and said it's an enjoyable commitment.
"They've all played extremely well. Xavier Williams-Byers has been a standout (at fullback). But they're a sensational team to coach, I could rattle off nearly the whole team," Faye said.
Turvey Park's focus has been on closing down opponents and they hope to put that in action in the final two rounds against Kangaroos Red and Junee.
"We've been mainly working on improving their defence but it's key that the next two games they just enjoy themselves," Faye said.
"We had two losses back to back but we've come good again. We're finding our feet. We generally struggle for the first few games but after that we generally come home really strong, hence why we've been in those back-to-back grand finals."
Turvey's under 11s and under 15s went down to Tumut but the Leaguetag under 12s had a 4-all draw and the 16s leaguetag enjoyed a win.
