Tigers coach Luke Taylor said the side’s unforced errors cost them in their last outing, a 20-16 loss to the Knights in Newcastle.
The Tigers go into Saturday’s match with a win and a loss. They beat Central Coast 40-4 in round one.
Taylor said: “I think we just need to relax a little bit. And as I said, just reduce the fundamental mistakes.”
He added: “From what I’ve seen [of North Coast] I would image they’d have a fair bit of football in them.”
Greater Northern had a bye last round.
The Tigers’ under-18 Laurie Daley Cup side will also look to rebound from a last-start loss – downed 40-6 by the Knights.
Despite the scoreline, Tigers coach Peter Stevens could not fault his players’ effort in the match and hopes they repeat that on Saturday.
He said: “I expect us to compete pretty well tomorrow [Saturday]. We’ve had a couple of games and we had a light run last week.”
