"Them two boys, I'll be looking for them to step up and take a leadership role this year - and the other boys that were there [last year] as well," Rando said.
"Hopefully, if they lead the way we should go all right."
Another player Rando expects to "have a big year" is prop Jake Clydsdale.
The Tigers will go into the match with one trial under their belt. They lost nine tries to five to the Western Rams in Denman.
In the earlier game at Wauchope on Saturday, the Tigers' under-16 side open their Andrew Johns Cup campaign against the Bulldogs.
