It will start at Wade Park on Saturday where in first grade Waratah Tigers will take on West Wyalong in the elimination final.
The last time the two sides met, it was the Waratahs who were able to take a 38-4 win over a Mallee Men side who were without a number of regular starters.
With that in mind, Woodland is expecting a different game but knows there are moments from which his side could take positives from.
"I think whatever side that West Wyalong put out is still a competitive side," he said.
"We were down to 11 blokes at one point, and they didn't score until the last minute.
"The effort that the boys showed in defence was massive, and it was a massive attitude change which was pleasing."
Meanwhile on Sunday, Leeton will play host to 2019 premiers Darlington Point Coleambally Roosters to see who will take on the minor premiers, Black and Whites for the first spot in finals.
Having sat at the top of the table for most of the season only to be usurped in the final round by the Panthers, the Greens are looking at it as a positive.
"With having that bye in the last round two weeks off could have hurt going into finals," Leeton coach Hayden Philp said.
"We had a goal of top three anyway, so finishing second phases, any of the boys there are just a couple that are injured who will miss out this weekend."
