If ever there was a season-defining game for the Steamers, then tomorrow afternoon's clash with Southland is the game. Win and the Bay retain a chance of the semi-finals and assure themselves of a spot in the Top 7. Lose and their Top 7 fate may not be in their own hands. John Moore is back from injury for his first game of the season, Phil Burleigh is back in the 12 jersey and Nick McCashin also returns from injury to take a spot on the bench.
