Clinical Queanbeyan Kangaroos rout Gungahlin Bulls with ladder-leaders clash next

The victory was especially important for Queanbeyan on old boys' day, and captain-coach Sam Williams was impressed by his side's disciplined display.

"Against Gungahlin we defended well and had a real dig, which was the most pleasing thing about it all," he said.

Williams and hooker Lachlan Ingram ran a clinic on how to break down a tight defensive line with all five Queanbeyan tries.

Jayden Thomas scored twice in the first half, after Bayley Hitchcock got on the end of a neat Williams grubber to open the scoring.

Taking an 18-0 lead into the second half, the Kangaroos didn't take their foot off the gas and scored twice more through centre Harry Quinlan and second-rower Jesse Dent to cement their spot atop the Canberra Raiders Cup ladder.

Their performance sets the tone for a big top-of-the-table clash against Tuggeranong Bushrangers next weekend.

"The ladder doesn't reflect how close this is going to be," Williams said of round eight.

"Tuggeranong have got a really good side, they're coming off a bye and are really well coached so it's a very important game for both clubs."

"Against Gungahlin we defended well and had a real dig, which was the most pleasing thing about it all."
