A hat-trick from Mohammad Jawad and a goal each from Dean Armanini and Christian Codemo saw the Rhinos return home with a 5-1 win over the Panthers to see them stay within touching distance of top spot.
It was a similar result for the under 14s as Ethan Andreazza, and Ryan Zanatta both scored hat-tricks to see the Rhinos come home with the three points after a 6-1 win to consolidate third place on the ladder.
It was a closer game for the under 18s when they played the Panthers at Riverside Stadium.
Two first-half goals saw the Rhinos head into the break with a 2-0 lead, but the Panthers refused to lie down to come back with three second-half goals, but thanks to two goals from Daniel Rogato and Jordan Serena saw the Riverina side come home with a 4-3 win.
Meanwhile, the 16s tough start to the season continued after they conceded the first three goals of the game. Jonathan Codemo got the Rhinos back on the board before Monaro scored their fourth.
Codemo finished with a consolation goal in a 4-2 defeat.
The under 20s also suffered a tough 7-1 defeat in the curtain raiser for the first-grade game.
