The Tigers sealed the minor premiership with an 84 points to 16 victory over Killarney on Saturday.
Although they thumped their opposition, coach Chris Battersby said the performance was inconsistent and will be looking for his side to put together an 80-minute performance to conquer Inglewood.
“We were a bit scratchy to start with. They were in it for a little bit,” he said.
Battersby believes Inglewood pose the biggest threat to his side in the competition and Tenterfield will muscle up early to topple the side.
“They have a really big pack of forwards,” he said.
“For us to win we have to control them and slow the play the ball down because they get on a big roll and are very hard to stop once they do that. Our defence has to be solid and our attack will come. We have plenty of attack in our side.”
