The Blues are unbeaten through six rounds and having delivered the two powerhouses, Bushrangers Rebels and Bushrangers Outlaws, their first defeats this campaign, Cowra are sitting clear atop the ladder.

Their most recent clash forced the Mark Dixon coached side to regroup late in the fourth quarter, and kick four goals in 10 minutes.

"We played poorly, subconsciously I was thinking of what to say after a loss," Blues coach Mark Dixon explained.

"We needed four goals in 10 minutes, I didn't expect us to do that I thought it was going to be the loss we needed.

"It's a good sign though, playing poorly against a good side and getting the win."

Dixon said his side's successful start to 2016 has allowed him to adjust his goals heading into the second half of the year.

He says a home final is now the target.

"Being 6-0 it's a realistic aim," he said.

"It's nice to be thinking of at least a home final, it's something in the back of my mind."

Dixon said Cowra's quick turnaround from being thumped by more than 100-points by the bigger centres last season to now defeating the likes of Bathurst and Orange is due to a number of factors, but he highlighted the enthusiasm of everyone involved in the club throughout the lower grades.

"Overall we're getting at least 20 training with a good mix of under 18s players who back up for us in first grade on the weekends, which is a good sign for the future.

"We're picking up players who played on and off in the past. I have 35 players to choose from this weekend.

"It puts a premium on players getting to training, when you're losing it's hard to the cultural thing but now I can ram it up some blokes who don't get to training. For a small town we're holding our own," he added.

Cowra's opponents this weekend, Parkes Panthers, defeated the Blues in a trial during the preseason and Dixon described them as a physical outfit.

"They're going quite well they've had two losses against sides we've beat by only a few points," he said.

"They're probably the most physical team, it's going to be a test especially for our younger players to stand up to the bigger blokes but they've proved they can do it.

"We'll have a strong side there's no excuses.

Meanwhile the Cowra Blues women's side remains winless but have continued to improve throughout the opening six rounds.

The girls have the bye this weekend before tackling the Young Saints on June 4.
