However, they will enter their title defense without inspirational coach Darren Coleman, who opted to take a deal in the growing Major League Rugby comp in the US.
This has their rivals snapping at their heels, with the likes of Sydney Uni, Easts and Randwick looking to bounce back after disappointing finishes to the season.
As for Eastwood and Norths, they will be hoping that they can build off their impressive finals run as they look to return to the top.
