The premiers have struggled this season and had little answers for the unbeaten Wagga club who took a 46-6 win at Equex Centre on Sunday.

Sophie Crouch crossed for a hat-trick while Maisie Freemantle bagged a double in the win.

Freemantle is one of the younger talents in the side and coach Chris Suckling believes the next generation are really starting to hit their straps.

"We got off to a bit of a slow start but it was a good team effort," Suckling said.

"The young girls are starting to gel in pretty well now, they are getting our structures right and they are playing pretty well.

"It is good to see."

The loss for the Bulls, combined with Gundagai's 18-0 win over Junee on Saturday, has the Tigers two points clear in fifth place.

Southcity face another big challenge when they host Brothers at Harris Park on Saturday.

Meanwhile Kangaroos will be looking to hit back when they host Young.
