Forbes ran in four tries in the opening stages of Sunday's reserve grade game to set themselves up for a 16-46 long weekend win over Parkes.

Caleb Wardman was first to cross the line, Ben Maguire added a double but try-scoring honours were shared between Brodie Acret, Hayden Bolam, Riley Mylecharane, Harrison Scott, Hayden Morrison and Joe Morrison.

The Spacies did slow the flow of points and push back, with tries to Bailey Vaeau, Lachlan Miller and Ollie Thomas.
