Up against Easts, the Dirty Reds had been limited in their training opportunities due to the consistent rain in preceding weeks which had left their home ground soaked.

But what they produced left Webber very pleased.

Reserve grade got the ball rolling with a 71-0 demolition of the visitors at Goulburn's Poidevin Oval.

Then, first grade followed up with a similarly emphatic 59-5 evisceration of Easts.

Exceptionally pleased with the win, Webber said he was also taken aback by the level of fitness his players showed after five weeks since their last match.

"I was surprised actually that everyone was reasonably fit," he said.

"We do have a pretty young squad, so I think a lot of guys are pretty naturally fit anyway. It's not a department where we're going to lack too much.

"But I was surprised with how everyone went in that sense."

The first grade win, though one-sided on paper, was more of a tussle than it appeared. Though many of Easts' players backed up from reserve grade, the first portion of the match was an arm wrestle and the visitors were the first to cross for a try.

At the 20-minute mark, Easts led 5-0. But then Goulburn found some rhythm and ran rampant.

"Having not played since the ADFA game at home, it was always going to take a little bit of time to get back in the groove," Webber said.

"We'd probably only had a couple of team runs during that period, so it was always going to take a bit of time.

"But once it did click, we came together really well."

Goulburn currently sit on top of the ladder as the only undefeated team in the competition. And though Webber believes the Dirty Reds are the team to beat, he said this weekend's clash against Hall will be a real test of where they sit in 2020.

"We're confident we are the team to beat," he said.

"This weekend against Hall will be a good test of where we are. Easts are on the bottom of the table and they were running a bit short of players on the weekend.

"But Hall gave us a really tough game in round two, so after this weekend we'll have a better idea of where we're at."

With only a couple of weeks remaining until finals, Webber is looking forward to the opportunity to "blow a few cobwebs out" in the matches leading up.

The Goulburn Dirty Reds will play Hall this Saturday, September 12, at Hall Oval. The reserve grade match will begin at 1.30pm, while first grade will kick off at 3.05pm.
