The Yenda side fell to a 48-24 defeat to start the season, and coach Lance Poka knows this weekend will be another tough test.
"We had four debutants, so it was very much a young team. Everyone tried their best," he said.
"Heading into this weekend, it is going to be a big ask. I know it is still early, but I think they will be the benchmark."

Leeton will be heading into the game off the back of a 48-22 win over the Black and Whites but have had to deal with a serious injury to Bas Blackett, who dislocated his elbow in the victory.
"He actually ended up putting it back in himself, so that saved him a trip to Wagga," Leeton coach Hayden Philp said.
"He was sore yesterday (Tuesday), so it's a bit of a wait and see but probably be at least six weeks until he is right."
Philp is expecting a tough hit out against a young Blueheelers side.
