"These four games will determine the shape of our season and I believe we have to get at least six points from them to remain on the right course," Bleiberg told goldcoast.com.au.

"We are two games behind most of the other teams already and we have ground to make up. The draw has been unkind to us but we are determined to make the best of the situation."

The coach has made it clear what he believes will be an acceptable haul from the points on offer in forthcoming clashes.

"If we get two wins then I'll be satisfied. If we don't do that we may have too look at taking a different approach," added Bleiberg.

As for the first challenge, the trip to Perth, combative performer Steve Pantelidis is poised for a return to the side.
