It comes one week after Steve Merrick's men suffered a 39-24 loss at Nelson Bay a week earlier.

But can the first grade side win away from home in the following weeks?

Unfortunately, we'll have to wait 26 days for an answer before they have their next chance against powerhouse Hamilton; who only held off the Bulls by a point in Round 2.

The developing side then travel to play arch rival Maitland the following week.

Remaining fixture:

Round 12 (July 6) - Wanderers (H)

Round 13 (July 20) - Hamilton (A)

Round 14 (July 27) - Maitland (A)

Round 15 (August 3) - University of Newcastle (A)

Round 16 (August 10) - Merewether Carlton (H)

Round 17 (August 17) - Nelson Bay (H)

Round 18 (August 24) - Southern Beaches (A)

MEANWHILE the Bulls' second grade side celebrated a 57-5 win earlier in the afternoon after the third grade also triumphed 60-12.
