There's no play over the Easter weekend while the Ospreys have the bye on Saturday, April 6.
The club's next assignment will be against Stockton on Saturday, April 13.
The game will be played at Boronia.
Southern had scheduled last weekend's clash at Boronia, but switched it to Tuncurry due to council maintenance work.
Southern coach Jonathon Newman said the fortnight hiatus 'isn't great'.
"But we were missing five from the squad through injury or otherwise last weekend, so it helps from that perspective,'' he said.
"We picked up a red card in reserve grade, and there's another two players away so it just balances itself out.''
Newman said better finishing in the first half by the Ospreys would have made the first grade encounter far more comfortable against New Lambton.
"Compared to last year we'll see a step up in class from all our opponents.''
