The Dubbo outfit scored a clinical 36-18 win over Orange CYMS at Wade Park to send a message to the rest of the competition.

Star fullback Noah Ryan scored a hat-trick in the eye-catching victory while captain Joe Yeo bagged a double.

The Fishies produced some of their best play of the season while the same couldn't be said the Cam Jones-coached Orange outfit.

"We knew they were going to be good and they were," Jones said.

"They didn't do anything that surprised us... our performance surprised us."

It looked as though it would be an enjoyable afternoon in the coach's chair after three minutes as the hosts crashed over almost instantly, shooting out to a buffer that would be short-lived.

From then on, Dubbo took the shackles off and piled in the points as they made inroads through the middle of the field on the back of some high-energy carries and quick play-the-balls.

CYMS will now play St Pat's in next weekend's semi-finals at Forbes.
