While the Eagles must beat Dubbo Roos to keep their season alive, they require the seventh-placed Parkes Boars to upset Orange City at Northparkes Oval.
Hayes says there’s been no talk of anything beyond this week.
“If we don’t win out game it doesn’t matter what happens,” Hayes said.
“All we need to do is focus on this weekend. It all comes down to this weekend really.
“All we can control is the result of our game. They’ll be wanting to show they’re contenders for the premiership. We need to take the early pressure and look to play our game.”
The battle out wide looks set to be worth the price of admission alone with the Eagles determined to use speed to their advantage while the Roos lineup also possesses firepower in the backline.
Troy Jeffs returned last week and will start in jumper number 10 with Bill Cummins set to feature at fullback.
Charlie Dunhill returns to hooker.
The Eagles have only been beaten once in the past found rounds heading into Saturday’s match.
Hayes is expecting a big crowd to cheer his side on with the club hosting its president’s lunch and a reunion for the 2007 colts premiership winning side.
All we can control is the result of our game.
