That occasion was against Bomaderry, when the sides played at an exciting 4-all draw May 11 - a side who the Seagulls will host at the Huskisson Sporting Field on Saturday.
Since their last meeting, Hawker's men have rattled off nine straight wins, while the Tigers have picked 19 points from a possible 27 - seeing the two sides sit first and second respectively going into round 16.
"We have learnt a great deal as a playing group over the last few years and that's helped us achieve the results we have so far this season," Hawker said in relation to their winning streak.
"At the end of last year, we were playing solid football, to the point where I think we could have won the grand final had we made it and I think we are at that level again now.
"We have a lot of belief at Husky this year on what our men's teams can achieve."

In saying that, Hawker knows a win on Saturday against Bomaderry would go a long way to securing the Seagulls the club championship.
"Saturday is going to be another toughly contested game and both teams will want to ensure they defend well and then make the most of any small opportunities they get in front of goal," Hawker said.
"At the start of this season, our main goal was to ensure all our teams played semi-final football again.
"We had lots of personnel changes and took us a while to gel but all teams are on track for that.
"The club championship to be honest wasn't a goal at the start of the year but it would be great if we were able to achieve that honour as a reflection of effort the players have put in this year."
Saturday will mark a big day for the Seagulls, with the club holding its junior disco at the Husky Sports Club, from 3-5pm before their trivia night, at the same venue, from 6.30pm.
There will also be a raffle run on the day, with prizes including 4x Sydney FC match tickets, a stand-up paddleboarding tour, a Peak Fitness three-month membership, as well as vouchers for Wild Ginger, Graczs by the Bay and a tour and tasting at Cupits Winery.
Other matches in round 16 include Callala hosting Culburra, Shoalhaven United battling Milton-Ulladulla, Manyana taking on St Georges Basin and Sussex entertaining Illaroo, with Shoalhaven Heads-Berry having the bye.
