The fifth-place Tigers are desperate for a win against second-placed Barraba, as they eye a top-four spot ahead of the fast-approaching finals.
Beau Hargrave is expected to return this week to strengthen the Tigers’ pack, while Danny White is back at No.1.
Tigers coach Brett Monley said: “Beau Hargrave should be back in our forward pack. He will strengthen up the middle for us. He runs very hard.”
“We will have Danny White back at fullback, so he will have a bit of space to move,” Monley added.
The last time Uralla and Barraba met the Bulldogs won in extra time.
In other Saturday games, Bingara travel to Bendemeer, Dungowan host Manilla, Boggabri welcome Bundarra and the Roosters and Walcha meet at Kootingal.
