The Bulls made it two wins on the trot as they brought up the biggest total in the club’s history.
The 15-try rampage was led by Joe Ioane.
The big prop crossed for four tries and probably should have had a couple more.
He selflessly gave one to Menzies Seumanutafa when he was already over the line himself and dropped another chance from close range.
After a fadeout following the two general byes, coach Morgan Grivas is pleased with how Tumut are building momentum for the finals.
“It was good for the guys to continue to build some confidence after last week,” Grivas said.
“The results prior to that against Aggies and Albury were pretty disappointing, and weren’t at the standard we want it to be, so have a strong win and be able to reinforce how we are trying to play has been good.”
Grivas thought the forward pack stepping up held the side.
Angus Forster was part of an improved effort, playing one of his best games for the season.
“It was pleasing for the forwards to be able to get on the front foot again,” Grivas said.
“Through those games against Tahs, Albury and Aggies were weren’t able to get over the advantage line enough.”
The Bulls have also started to see some of their players return with Josef Glamuzina playing out the whole 80 minutes.
Tumut plays host to the preliminary final and the Bulls want to play in front of their home crowd after missing out two seasons ago.
The loss also ends a horror season for the Boiled Lollies, who failed to win a game.
