But Swans coach Georgia Fuller knows her teams need to keep striving for improvement after Saturday's 43-34 win over Turvey Park.
Griffith has won six and drawn two matches to start the season, and now face a tough stretch where they take on all of the other top five sides in their next five-game stretch.
"Most of our team is completely new and we're starting to click a lot more. Every team's going to be improved, we have to keep pushing," Fuller said.
"When you play the harder teams it's when you figure out what you need to work on. It's exciting.
"We're working on our defensive pressure as a team and ball control, refining those little things. Among those top few teams everyone has the talent, it's who's prepared to grind it out for four quarters."
Meanwhile, a scoring surge early in the last quarter paved the way for Wagga Tigers to enter the top five for the first time after a 41-39 victory against fourth-placed Collingullie-Glenfield Park.
The Tigers lost their first four games, but after coming from behind to beat Ganmain-Grong Grong-Matong in round six they have secured three wins and a draw.

Tigers coach Liv Tilyard rates the league the tightest she's seen in her period at the club.
"This is probably the best comp I've seen in regards to the difference between the top and bottom, everyone is beatable at the moment," she said.
"That first win against Ganmain was a real confidence boost, we knew we were fighting for fifth spot in the next couple of games we were playing.
"We've got three really young girls and two of them debuted this year (Eliza Kelly and Claudia Wheatley), the more we play the better we'll be."
In other matches Coolamon solidified a top three spot with a 79-25 thrashing of Narrandera, while defending premiers Mangoplah-Cookardinia United-Eastlakes hammered Leeton-Whitton 78-27.
