They return to legends this weekend in one of their favourite fixtures as they host Rhinos in the Legends derby in a match day 12 clash.

“We’re taking one game at a time,” the huge Makalama said in a soft voice. “As of now, we don’t think much about the table but plan for each game as they come.”

Kobs has totally dominated the fixture with Rhinos' only close attempt coming in their February 2020 fixture where they held on to a 25-08 loss.

Despite that fact, Makalama has warned his boys against complacency as he rallied them to go all out on Saturday.

“Our focus is the next game on Saturday against Rhinos. It is a game that will be tricky for us but we have to go and fight to win it,” he added.
