They’ll have the chance to put some doubters in their place this weekend though, when they host perennial contenders Dubbo Kangaroos at Northparkes Oval on Saturday.
The Boars stunned the entire region by thumping Mudgee 95-14 in round one, backing that up with a 27-10 victory over Cowra on the road.
On the other hand, Roos have been good in rounds one and two, just going down to Forbes before hammering Orange City a fortnight ago.

Saturday’s blockbuster first-versus-fourth clash kicks off at 3.15pm.
