Lemmich was part of a handful of Ag College players who linked with the Bulls last season.

With Aggies not taking part, the 21-year-old was keen to keep playing and Tumut was the best fit.

"Online uni meant we couldn't get any men's grades together, we knew Tumut were a really good club and we didn't want to play for any Wagga club so a few of us went up and had a game," Lemmich said.

"They are a great club with some really good blokes so I'm looking forward to heading up there this weekend."

Ag College got off to a tough start with heavy losses to Waratahs and Albury in their two games.

However after their first win of the season last week, Lemmich is hoping a more confident Aggies line up can repeat the dose against his former teammates.

"For a lot of those boys it was their first win for Ag College so it was good for them to get that winning feeling under the belt," Lemmich said. "We have a good training run on Tuesday and everyone is ready to go."

Lemmich was thrilled with the improvement shown in the 15-12 win over Ag College.

"It was two hard games in the first two rounds but we knew we could play better than what we were playing," Lemmich said. "We showed that on the weekend when we executed a bit better.

"In the first two games there were times we were on their line for long periods, especially against Waratahs, but just couldn't put points on together.

"On the weekend we were in front the whole time so we did that well."

He thought having Lochlan Ramm back in the side was a big boost as well.

Lemmich is one of just two players who started in Ag College's 2019 grand final loss to Waratahs.

After sitting out last season with the university campus closed the club has undergone plenty of personnel changes.

However Lemmich is confident the same spirit remains.

After two byes to start the season, Tumut got things under way with a tight win over Griffith at Jarrah Oval last week.

Lemmich expects a tough test in the hills.

"Hopefully we can take the same physicality we had against the Reddies up there as they are a big side compared to us," he said.

Meanwhile CSU will be without Josh Crockatt when they celebrate their 50^th anniversary on Saturday.

Crockatt was suspended after receiving two yellow cards in the loss to Ag College last week.

It means he will miss the clash with former club Wagga City at Beres Ellwood Oval on Saturday.

Waratahs winger Ismeli Koroi also received a one-game ban after he picked up two yellow cards in the grand final rematch with Wagga City last week.

Waratahs don't have another first grade fixture until their clash with Albury on May 15 but Waratahs playing in second grade this week Koroi has been allowed to serve it then.
