Dennis kicked 11 goals as the Saints ran riot against Coleambally at McPherson Oval on Saturday.

Coming off a disappointing performance against East Wagga-Kooringal last week, North Wagga fired early to set up the 16.7 (103) to 5.6 (36) victory.

The Blues were kept scoreless in the first quarter as the Saints took a 33-point lead.

Coach Cayden Winter thought their intensity was back after struggling to match the Hawks last week.

"Obviously last week we didn't play our best footy but we trained really hard this week and had a good four-quarter performance," Winter said.

"To the boys' credit they really stood up to respond.

"There were a fair few things we need to change as last week our ball use wasn't quite there.

"We had to clean up our ball use, lower our eyes and get back to that pressure, as that is how our game gets going."

While Coleambally kicked two straight in the second quarter, North Wagga's lead continued to grow as they kicked another five goals to lead by 51 points at the long break.

Dennis did most of the damage up front.

Returning from a knee reconstruction this season, Winter was thrilled to see him find his best form.

"He's been playing through a little bit of injury but he was feeling really good so we changed his role up," he said.

"It really suited it and he got onto a few. By the end of it he was kicking them from all over the shop.

"He had a really good game and it's good to see after coming back from a knee reconstruction.

"He's playing some good footy and it's a real testament to the work he's done to get back."

The Saints continued to pile on the Blues.

The 67-point loss leaves the Coleambally three wins and percentage behind the fifth placed Northern Jets ahead of a clash with winless Temora on Saturday.

North Wagga now take winning form into the clash with Marrar at McPherson Oval on Saturday.

They are the only team to get the better of the Bombers so far this season after taking a 20-point win in round four.

Over the past four seasons North Wagga have won the first clash between the two sides but haven't been able to back it up in the second.

It's one thing Winter is looking to change.

"They are obviously playing good footy, and would have to be premiership favourites I think, so it should any good test," he said.

North Wagga got through the clash unscathed and Winter is hopeful Sam Longmore will return from a hamstring complaint.

However Josh Campbell will miss a month due to concussion.
