At the end of the 80 minutes at Murrayfield on Saturday the scoreline read 101-0 over Wagga Ag College.

The blue and golds backline ran in 14 of the 17 tries as the forward pack dominated at the scrum and breakdown.

Coach Mick Raynes said it was just another step towards a grand final goal.

“As good as it was the boys switched their attention to Griffith who we play after the bye next weekend,” he said.

“If we beat the Blacks it ties up the minor premiership, gives us the first week off and then the second week at home to go into the decider – you can’t get a bigger advantage than that.”

Raynes said the backline had lived up to its promise.

“Richard Manion probably had his best game of the year and if your defensive patterns is a bit suspect out wide, this backline will destroy you,” he said.

“But Liam Krautz was outsanding in the forwards as was South African Tyran Fagan in his first start for the Steamers.”
