The Suns return to Myimbarr Oval to tackle Kiama, looking to build on wins over Northern Districts and the Lions. After claiming just one victory in the past two years, they've even exceeded new coach Graeme Perry's expectations.
"It's blown me away how competitive we've been. I've just wanted to try to put a competitive team on the park," Perry said.
"I think with the players we've added, it's certainly brought up the level of the group. But what I've liked is the improvement of all of the locals which has probably brought about our success too."
However, Perry remained wary heading into Saturday's clash, particularly praising the Power's midfield depth.
"We all know that Kiama have a great cluster of midfield and running-type players, so we expect to be on our bikes and chasing them all day," he said.
"I think it all comes down to that midfield contest against Kiama."
