Once again the Boiled Lollies piled on the points against Reddies, taking a 78-0 win at Beres Ellwood Oval to extend their unbeaten start.
They scored three more points than they did when the two teams met last week.
Across town, Waratahs took a big step towards another grand final appearance with a 39-24 win over Tumut at Conolly Rugby Complex.
At the midway point of the competition the premiers now have a nine-point advantage over the chasing Bulls.
They are five points adrift of the undefeated ladder leaders.
After a slow start, co-coach Michael Davis was pleased with how Waratahs responded to skip clear of their rivals on the ladder.
"We're obviously in charge of our destiny but it makes it quite hard (for Tumut)," Davis said.
"If we can win a couple more games it cements us in the final so we'll just look to keep building.
"We won't relax now."
Tumut dominated possession early, starving Waratahs of possession and made it count on the scoreboard.
The Bulls led 17-0 before the premiers responded to take a three-point lead into half-time.
They continued their charge before a string of 39 unanswered points was broken when Pat Logan crossed late.
"We got back into the game towards the latter part of the first half, addressed a few things at half-time and the second half was a lot better," Davis said.
"We defended quite well.
"It was pleasing we shut them out for the first part of that second half."
Rob Wiltshire put in another strong performance while James Grimmett crossed for a double.
Phil Shaw also snared a double for the Bulls.
Meanwhile Wagga City coach Ben Schreiber was pleased to take another win.
This time around CSU proved to be much more competitive in the first half, however they couldn't stay with their rivals.
Schreiber was pleased to bring up another win.
"They definitely gave us a run for our money in the first half but we were able to get the under hand in the second half, which is good for us," Schreiber said.
"We started to play that eyes-up football we've been trying to get happening and it's a testament to the boys' efforts at training with their fitness.
"It really got us over the line."
Wagga City will be looking to extend their winning run when they tackle Tumut while CSU will be looking for their first win when they tackle Waratahs.
