Both teams are undefeated heading into round four with the Redmen having the upper hand based on goal differential.
Despite their start to the year, Norths coach John Edmunds insists their results haven't been the main focus for his side.
"We're turning up, having a good time. We will take a win if we get a win, we have been lucky to get a couple so far," he said.
"I haven't really worried about looking at the points table, that is not our concern this year."

Edmunds said the Redmen will take an unchanged team into the clash.
South Armidale coach Josh Fern said he has "a full squad" at his disposal after his side managed to keep 11 players on the park in their 13-nil last-start drubbing of Easts.
"No one is out, no injuries, no red cards which makes for a nice change with suspensions," he told The Armidale Express.
The two sides have enjoyed plenty of high-intensity matches in recent years and Fern is expecting another this Saturday.
"Norths are always sharp and competitive so it will be a tough hit out this weekend," he said.
"As much as they say they don't know they are on top of the ladder, I don't believe that.
"They know they're there and we will be looking to knock them off.
"I am looking forward to it, hopefully it is not raining."
