After hosting round four of the series at Dubbo Sports World earlier this month the boys will no doubt be looking for more strong results.
After a win against Hunter in round four, the 2012 Men's Ones Champions are currently in second place on the leaderboard.
In the major semi-final, they will be looking to improve to get into blue ribbon contention.
The team heading to Hunter is Steve Skinner (captain), Mat Skinner, Dan Horrocks, Dan Holland, Dan French, Wade Burrowes, Jordan Peacock and Matt Fisher.
If Dubbo wins against Hunter again, they will go through to the grand final.
A loss will see them play the winner of Charlestown and Coffs Harbour.
The Men's Twos, currently in fourth place, will definitely be looking to improve on previous results and will play Charlestown in the minor semi-final.
The bush boys were defeated by Charlestown in round four, but enjoyed a win when playing them previously in round one.
The team will most likely be Justin Knudsen, Matt Woodbridge, Joel Johnston, Dale O'Donnell Jacob Hill, Cameron Herd and Jarrod Toole.
The Men's Threes team is sitting comfortably in second place and will play the knockout semi against Hunter.
Dubbo has a good track record against the Hunter boys, after defeating them in both round one and round four of the competition.
The players likely to step in for Men's Threes in Thornton are Adam Cuskelly, Eric Woolnough, Jackson Peacock, Mike Jeffrey, Brayden McGhee and Andrew Walden.
Last but most certainly not least, the Masters are in the top three of the Regional Super League for the first time in more than five years.
They will play a knockout semi against Coffs Harbour after previously defeating them.
The likely players will be Al Horrocks, Alwyn Edwards, Brian McKinnon, Kel Blackett, Craig Pettit, Steve McDowell, Scott Barber, Darren Davies and Rob Green.
