Even though the weather forecast of drizzle at times tomorrow and showers developing on Sunday, Parlane maintained his side would be playing positively.
"People will be talking about weather and hoping it rains, but a lot of this [rain] you can play with it. I will be enforcing the boys to expect to play every minute. You've got to go out there and play cricket.
"With it being club cricket, there'll be a lot of things on people's minds - of things happening outside of cricket - so I'll be trying to change that."
For Parlane's side, they won't be at full complement each day as main strike bowler Cody Andrews has to work on Sunday while teammates will be attending a wedding tomorrow.
However, Kaipara coach Kevin Forde says player availability doesn't come into the equation for him.
"We've got to take 20 wickets, regardless of who's batting, we've got to get every single one of them out.
"They've got senior players in there and if we can knock them over and get into their young ones that'll be good for us," Forde noted.
"Karamea are like us and have a little depth outside of their first XI, there'll be guys who'll come in and do a job for them. We'll do what we do and play against the players they have on the field."
He added that his side had received a boost with the confirmation of Northern Districts' wicketkeeper Rory Christopherson, now that Black Cap BJ Watling had returned to the side. Also, James Marshall was a possibility for the southern-most Northland side.
"We're hoping to put out the strongest possible side. We hope to have James Marshall's services, but we haven't had him a huge amount this season, he'd be a great addition."
Forde said that in his four years of being involved with Kaipara, they had won Twenty20 and one-day titles but were yet to add the two-day crown.
Play starts tomorrow at 10.30am, with play on Sunday starting at the same time.
Competition finish without finals favoured
This weekend's two-day final could be a thing of the past if Northland Cricket's competition manager has his way.
Neal Parlane said the two-day competition had been strong this year, with several teams being able to beat one another on different days.
However, he would like to see the title decided either by whoever was top of table at the end of round robin, or over a three-day match.
Parlane said often two days was a short time to bowl a team out twice, especially if weather interrupted.
"I think there has been some good play this year. Last year we [Maungakaramea, who Parlane plays for] got smashed by Kamo, which is good for the competition because it shows three or four teams can beat any team depending on the day.
"I'm quite happy with how [the two-day competition] has gone.
"I would like to see it go back to no final though.
"I don't see any final [is needed], or maybe go to a three-dayer so you do get see who the best is."
Currently whichever team finished first at the end of pool play had a significant advantage as they only needed to draw the final to claim the title.
That being the case, winning the toss could then dictate who was in the box seat.
