After picking up a late victory last weekend, the under 13s waited until late in the game again this weekend at Rawlings Park.
After the sides went into halftime level at 0-0, it was Pearson Kasawaya who knocked in the goal with just five minutes remaining in the game to see the Rhinos keep their five-game winning streak alive and maintain their top two position.
The under 14s side were able to bounce back from a disappointing result last weekend to stay in the hunt for a top-two position.
Christian Codemo, Mohammad Fayazi and Gus Papasidero popped up to find the back of the net against the Wanderers to see their side take a 3-0 victory and stay just two points behind second-placed Canberra FC.
That was the end of the wins for the Rhinos as they under 16s, and under 18s both fell in their clashes with the Wagga side.
It was a tight tussle in the under 16s with the Rhinos going into the halftime break with a 1-0 lead with Ryan Zanatta scoring just before the halftime break.
The Wanderers were able to hit back through Lachlan Carty before Ben White scored the winning goal from the penalty spot with eight minutes remaining.
It was a tough day at the office for the under 18s who fell to a 6-0 defeat and also had Samuel Scarfone, and Samuel Raciti sent from the field late in the game.
The Rhinos sides will hit the road next weekend to take on Canberra FC.
