Osborne's shooters were on target with Lou Madden going at 93 per cent, Bridie Willis at 89 per cent and Sal Hunter at 85 per cent.
Wing-attack Abbey O'Connell and centre Georgia O'Connell where named the Tigers' best.
The result was a widening of the 15-goal margin that separated the two sides in their round one encounter, and puts the onus back on Jindera and Billabong to lead the challenge against Osborne.
Jindera had a comfortable 50-24 win over Holbook while Billabong had to work harder in their 43-37 victory at home against BB Saints.
