Kangaroos sit in sixth and, after Ivanhoe Knights and Mossman-Port Douglas Sharks played out a draw at the Smithfield Sporting Complex on Friday night, will get within one point of fifth spot and a finals position with a win.

The Brethren hold top spot with a 14-1 record, and while a loss will have no impact on their ladder position, they will be determined to finish the season with just the one defeat next to their name.
