"We've really hit our straps at the business end of the season and will field a full strength team on Saturday" said Preston
"It's always a tough battle against Penrith especially to beat them out there. And we beat them comfortably which really boosts our confidence going into the weekend"
Power's former Port Adelaide forward Nick Salter booted eight majors on Saturday against the Warriors to help guide his team to victory and it's place in the grand final.
Also amongst best on the day were brothers Brandon and Hayden Mclean, Barton Lynch and ruck Thomas Van Greunsven.
