The Wagga side had impressed after wins over Tumut and Brothers before suffering a tight loss to Young last week.

Starved of opportunities and their own worst enemy at times, coach Simon Woolford was disappointed in the performance.

"We just had too many players who didn't contribute positively and when you play against a team like Southcity you need 17 of them to contribute positively," Woolford said.

"We were nowhere near that."

Despite having very little of the ball in the first half as the Bulls went out to a 18-0 lead, Kangaroos got themselves back into the contest with two tries to Timoci Vatubuli.

However they couldn't sustain the brief moment.

"It felt like we were coming out of our own end for the whole first half before we got a couple of opportunities late," Woolford said.

"We took them and were well in the game at half time but again we came out into the second half and dropped the ball twice coming out of our own end.

"Southcity are too good a team and have players that can hurt you.

"We gave them too many opportunities."

Woolford is hopeful of having a number of faces back for their next game against Kangaroos on May 15.

However Ben Cronin impressed after making his first grade debut off the bench.

Kangaroos are hopeful for good news for Vatubuli after he received treatment by paramedics.
