Nexus Power Comets posted their highest score of the season to defeat the winless Tolsaf Cranes 54-39.

The 32-14 loss slips Hinton from second to third on the ladder.
They were leap-frogged by Club Maitland City, who defeated the George Tavern 39-26.
Customs House Hotel had the bye.
Hills are all but certain to finish minor premiers, but the remaining three finals positions are still anyone's guess.
