Brekrey came off late with fears he's broken sternum again in the 36-14 win over Junee at Laurie Daley Oval on Sunday.

It cast a shadow over the victory, especially with big games against Southcity and Tumut coming up in the next fortnight.

Gundagai got off to a perfect start as Seb Cottam scored three minutes into the clash to help them to an early lead.

They dominated the first half, taking a 24-0 lead into the break before taking the foot off the pedal in the second stanza.

It's been a theme to their season, winning despite only playing in patches, and coach Adam Perry is still looking for a complete performance from the premiers.

"It was a a little bit up and down," Perry said.

"It was good in patches but not great in patches either.

"We got out to a bit of a lead and switched off a little bit."

Berkrey helped Gundagai extend their lead after regathering a charged down kick before putting a kick in himself for the first of Dylan Cole's double.

Junee had a number of chances to hit back, but couldn't find a way through.

Their defence in the first half was one thing that pleased Perry.

"We made things hard for ourselves with mistakes and penalties so we had to do a bit of defending but they did well," he said.

Junee got on the board five minutes after the break when Richie Herangi scored off a Dakota Ruta kick but any chances of a Diesels comeback was quickly snuffed out when James Luff scored from dummy half eight minutes later.

Joel Field then crossed with 21 minutes to play before tries to Pat Guthrie and Tristan Field added a little respectability to the scoreboard for the Diesels.

Junee had their winning run ended but coach Trent Schubach believes the way they finished off the game gives him plenty to work with heading into the clash with Brothers.

"Down on numbers from a pretty mediocre game last week you can't fault the boys effort and we actually won that second half," Schubach said.

"For a team that is the benchmark to win the second half isn't too bad."

The Diesels also came into the clash without Will Merritt (suspension), Rusiate Kaliseiwaqa (ribs) and Matt Hands (unavailable) and lost front rower Simione Naiduki very early with a head knock.

The loss sees Junee slip to sixth but only on percentage after Temora had a draw with Brothers.
