Cowra coach Troy Hayes says his side’s focus is purely on getting a result out of this Saturday’s final regular round match against Dubbo Roos, despite a slim chance his side can still make finals depending on results.

While the Eagles must beat Dubbo Roos to keep their season alive, they require the seventh-placed Parkes Boars to upset Orange City at Northparkes Oval.
Hayes says there’s been no talk of anything beyond this week.
“If we don’t win our game it doesn’t matter what happens,” Hayes said.
“All we need to do is focus on this weekend. It all comes down to this weekend really.
“All we can control is the result of our game. They’ll be wanting to show they’re contenders for the premiership. We need to take the early pressure and look to play our game.”
The Eagles will aim to utilise the speed of their outside backs, against a side that also boasts a strong backline.
Troy Jeffs returned last week and will start in jumper number 10 with Bill Cummins set to feature at fullback.
Charlie Dunhill returns to hooker.
Hayes is expecting a big crowd with the club hosting its president’s lunch and a reunion for the 2007 Colts premiership winning side.
The game starts from 3.15pm at the Cowra Rugby Grounds this Saturday.
