In a rematch of the 2019 grand final, the Wagga side had far too many weapons for the previously unbeaten Dragons.
After falling short of a grand final appearance for the first time in a decade last season, Brothers are yet to taste defeat through the first four rounds after a 34-10 win at Nixon Park on Sunday.
Coach Chris Suckling was thrilled with how the side dictated terms.
"They turned up and played really well right from the start," Suckling said.
"We have a few reserves this week, which makes it a bit easier, and it's a good win over there as I rate Temora."
Bridget Suckling crossed for a double in the win while sister Gab also scored in her return to the side.
Work commitments will limit the playmaker's role with Brothers this season, however her strong kicking game was a welcome addition.
"She will get back whenever she can," Suckling said.
"She works four days on and then has four days off so a lot of the time she is working will be weekends but she was good for us and it's good to have her kicking game."
Brooke Wiggett was also strong at fullback.
Suckling was thrilled with how the side dominated the first half to set up a big advantage.
Temora tried to rally before Brothers responded to seal the big win.
"When they put two tries on us we didn't panic and instead scored a couple more tries," Suckling said.
Meanwhile Kangaroos extended their unbeaten start to the season with a 42-4 win over Southcity at Harris Park on Saturday.
Molly Antone crossed for three tries in the win while Lauren Jolliffe and Samantha Burton both bagged doubles.
The two Wagga rivals, who had a draw to start the season, still one point clear on top of the ladder.
Temora are just behind in third.
Albury are fourth after they bounced back from their first loss of the season in impressive fashion.
The Thunder proved far too good for Gundagai at Greenfield Park on Saturday, coming away with a 30-14 win.
With a general bye for the NRL game at Equex Centre this week, Temora have more time to regroup ahead of another tough task.
They face Kangaroos at Equex Centre on May 15.
The following day Brothers travel to take on Gundagai, winless Junee host Albury while premiers Young are out to get on the board when they host Southcity.
