Parkes Boars thrash Dubbo Rhinos by 34 points

The Boars have now accumulated 74 points to just 17 in their two clashes over the Rhinos this season, and they have smashed their northern rivals from pillar to post.

If not for some very questionable refereeing, the Boars may have won by even more, completely turning their opponents around in the scrum multiple times.

Central West Rugby CEO Matt Tink, himself an accomplished prop, generously came to Boars training a few weeks ago to help with the scrum and it has been showing in recent games.

Parkes will look to pile on the points next Saturday, when they take on CSU in Bathurst.

After the shock 19-3 win to Narromine over ladder leaders Mudgee, the ladder has really tightened up with just the top two making the final.
