The Rabbitohs remain second from bottom on the Group 11 ladder, eight points adrift of the fifth-placed Tigers.
With just four rounds remaining after this weekend, it is reaching a case of now or never for the men in red and green.
“Where we are now down the bottom we need to win every game,” Dunn said after last week’s loss.
The coach felt very little luck went against his side last week and he’ll need some on Sunday against one of the form sides of the competition.
The Tigers have won four matches in a row and were impressive last week in a win over two-time Group 11 runners-up Parkes.
Reece Goldsmith has been outstanding from hooker for Nyngan this season and his battle with Westside number nine Darrell Kemp will be one of the key match-ups in the game.
Halves Josh Trindall and Steve Riley have also been key for the Rabbitohs in recent times while flying fullback Sam Coe poses a consistent threat.
Sunday’s match has also be transferred away from the Rabbiotohs’ home ground of No. 1 Oval after council closed the field following the recent rain.
The day will now be played out at Caltex Park with the action beginning from 11am with the League Tag.
The final match of the round will be played at Wellington with the Cowboys hosting the Narromine Jets.
