While the Sharks have started all guns blazing with two big wins, the Lions are looking to build after backing up an opening round loss to Henwood Park by keeping heavyweight newcomers Hanwood scoreless on their home turf.

Cameron said the pain of a 2-0 loss in last year's decider will spur Young on to secure their first win of 2019 in front of their home fans on Sunday afternoon.

"Everyone's really looking forward to the game, especially after the grand final last year. I wish it was last weekend," Cameron said.

"Yeah definitely (there's a rivalry there)."

Hanwood have re-joined the Wagga competition after a long absence and are expected to be one of the leading premiership contenders.

Cameron said keeping a clean sheet against them was a confidence boost before facing a Sharks outfit who have already scored 15 goals in two games.

"We thought they'd be very technical and a very good team, but I thought we really stuck it to them.

"I couldn't fault any of our players on the weekend. All the younger fellas have got another year of experience and there's a couple of older fellas keeping us going."

Cameron said he doesn't know what to expect from Lake Albert after the defection of gun brothers Fred and Henri Gardner to National Premier League side Wagga City Wanderers.

"We're unsure how Lake Albert are going to be this year, especially after losing Freddy and Henri (Gardner)," Cameron said.

"It (this weekend) is huge, especially for the younger fellas who have played for the last three or four years."
