The teams last played in Sydney in round two, the Rhinos under 15, 14 and 13 sides scoring wins, while the under 12s fought out a 0-0 draw.
Rhinos co-ordinator Anthony Vecchio said Northern Suburbs shaped as tough opponents.
“They were probably one of the more technical sides we played, so it will be a tough game,” he said.
“I wasn’t there for the first round, but my assistant coaches told me they (Northern Suburbs) were a pretty good association and pretty tough all over the park.
“We’re not expecting anything less from them this time.”
The Rhinos top the conference ladder in all age groups and are heavily favoured to remain there for the rest of the season.
Vecchio said there hadn’t been a standout side for the Riverina club.
“My expectation of all four sides was for them to top their groups,” he said.
“I think all the teams are doing well and them being on top and being first is warranted.
“I can’t pick one team that’s playing better than any other.”
Games start with the under 12s at 8.30am.
