After outlasting Kiama in a wet and wild affair last weekend, the Superoos have surged to second on the Group Seven ladder, just one point behind leaders Gerringong.

However, the Sharks are hot on Jamberoo’s heels after beating the improving Warilla in round 10.

The Gorillas are still firmly in the final mix, however, Saturday’s opponents Berry Shoalhaven Heads are entering must-win territory to keep their hopes of Semptember action alive.

Berry led 6-nil over Gerringong last Saturday after three Brent Marando penalty goals.

But the Lions hit back after early missed opportunities to finish 22-6 winners.

The Lions face an injury and suspension hit Port Kembla.

After a remarkable early season resurgence after several difficult years, the Blacks have slipped to sixth.
