Mittagong Lions and Thirlmere Roosters have made a perfect start to the Macarthur Conference Group 6 rugby league premiership to be joint leaders after four rounds.

Both have recorded three wins and have one bye each as well to sit atop the ladder with eight points.

The Camden Rams and the Oaks Tigers are on the next two rungs of the ladder with seven points each having drawn their match earlier in the season.

Campbelltown Collegians make up the top five with six points, having won three and lost one thus far.

Collies lost their first match on the weekend when they went down to East Campbelltown 22-16 at home on Bradbury Oval.

Mittagong were too strong at home, downing Oakdale Workers 32-6, while Thirlmere stopped the Kangaroos 18-8.

Camden Rams were too good for Narellan Jets, who were brave in defeat, going down 40-24 to their more fancied opponents (pictured above).

The South West Goannas finally returned to Onslow Oval, their current home ground, when they hosted Picton Magpies.

The Magpies returned to Picton with the two premiership points after an 18-6 win from what was a stop-start match.

As for the Goannas, it was an encouraging result after a poor start to the competition with two heavy losses.

They also lost their captain coach Tony “T-Rex’’ Williams prior to round three.
