The grand final returns to the same venue as the 2018 edition where the Tigers spoiled the party for the hosts, but the Bushrangers go into the upcoming clash wearing the minor premiers tag and one very important quality - momentum.

Bushrangers enter the decider with five straight wins from their completed matches, and importantly the last of those was a 47-point victory over the Tigers in the major semi-final.

However, there's a more impressive run the Bushrangers have continued for another season.

The Bushrangers' grand final appearance streak is now so long it could apply for a driver's licence.

Over 16 years the club have managed to make their way to the last day of the season, building what has been one of the Central West's most impressive unbroken sporting runs.

Despite grand final appearances becoming about as routine for the Bushrangers as the sun rising in the morning Rebels co-coach Tim Hunter said the sensation is always wonderful.

"We've had a big history with making grand finals and it's amazing for the club to be in another one," he said.

"We're ready to go. We've had a solid season and we're happy with how they're travelling. Orange are going to be a tough side to beat and they proved that all throughout the year and in previous grand finals."

There was an air of uncertainty clouding over the major semi-final clash since the previous Rebels-Tigers went unfinished due to an on-field injury.

But after the Rebels dispatched the Tigers in convincing fashion it's impossible to argue against the Bathurst men carrying favouritism into the grand final.

Tigers edged out the Rebels by a point during their first game of the season.

There has been enough strong football across the two and a half games they've played this year to show the Rebels that Tigers mean business.

"They've had a fantastic year. Credit goes to them because they've had changes in personnel but they've seemed to gel together quite well as a team," Hunter said.

"We're expecting the same Orange Tigers - tough and physical. They're here to knock us off so we're expecting a close one against them.

"We pulled up really well from the semi. We're pretty settled and happy with how our team sits.

"We need to match them in key areas and they're a very good contested ball side. If we let them run amok with that then we'll struggle to beat them."

Hunter is expecting plenty of support due to the Bushrangers' men's-women's grand final double attempt - something the club previously achieved in 2017.

"It's great having a home grand final. The girls have worked really hard this year as well," he said.

"We're so thrilled with what they've already achieved. Hopefully we get quite a few people down here on Saturday watching and supporting us."

First bounce in the men's grand final is at 2.30pm on George Park 2, which follows on from the 12.30pm women's game.
