After pushing the likes of CYMS and Parkes in recent weeks, the Rabbitohs cruised by the Cobar Roosters at No. 1 Oval, winning 46-16.
The victory will be a relief for coach Robbie Dunn as he looks to fulfil the potential within the talented Rabbitohs line-up.
The first home game of the season for Westside turned out to be one to savour as all four sides recorded wins.
The Ladies League Tag side again proved why they are one of the competition favourites with a 56-0 victory while the under-18s scored their first win of the season, 32-10.
Rabbitohs reserve graders were also hugely impressive and defeated the Roosters 42-10 before the first graders took to the field for the main event.
The match was virtually over by half time as Westside got out to a strong lead and they continued to build on that momentum in the second half before Cobar scored some late consolation points.
With some big name recruits now settled in and the team beginning to gel, Dunn will be hopeful the win is the first of many under his leadership.
Westside now have a week off courtesy of the bye but will be looking for win number two when they return to the field on May 17 for a home match against the Narromine Jets.
Elsewhere, the Forbes Magpies made it two wins from three matches after they won on their trip to Nyngan.
The Magpies edged past the home side 30-24 and leapfrogged the Tigers on the ladder in the process.
Inside the final five minutes the Tigers had got the score back to 28-24 but a late penalty goal sealed the win and continued to prove the Magpies are the real deal in 2015.
The Wellington Cowboys showed plenty of spirit at Narromine's Cale Oval on Sunday as they produced a stirring comeback to defeat the Jets 38-32.
The Cowboys were under the pump for long periods of the match but they lifted when it mattered to seal their third win of the season.
