The premiership favourites ran in 15 tries to one as they prepare to tackle Leeton in the grand final rematch next Saturday.
Forced to make plenty of changes from the team who defeated Wagga City 117-0 last week, Waratahs still proved far too strong.
Despite another big win, their fifth of the season, coach Richard Skellern wants his team to be improved for the clash with Leeton
“It is a hard game when it is uncontested (scrums) and you find it hard to get into the game,” Skellern said.
“We will take the win but at the end of the day we have a lot of work to do before Leeton.”
In his starting debut for the club former Ag College back James Grimmett scored a hat-trick while Austin Wallace, Harry Hosegood, Corey Toole and Blake Hart all snared doubles.
One concern is an ankle injury picked up by Sam Bunny.
However Skellern isn’t overly concerned.
“I think he will be alright,” he said.
“It was just precautionary to give him a bit of a rest.”
Another query is their goalkicking ranks.
Only five of their tries were converted with regular kickers Xavier Chigwidden and Euan Bonner both out injured.
“We left 20 points out there today and losing Xavier is hard,” Skellern said.
“We have to find a goalkicker before next week.”
Bonner is expected to be back to take on Leeton.
