We'll find out on Sunday when two of Group 10's undefeated sides do battle.
The Tigers have so far won both their 2014 games by the barest of margins, while Mudgee have been impressive in running past Blayney Bears and Lithgow Workies.
Central Western Daily sport journalist and Group 10 guru Nick McGrath thinks it will be the Dragons who improve their impeccable record in 2014.
Round three actually kicks off on Thursday night when Bathurst Panthers and Bathurst St Pat's clash at Carrington Park.
Nick and Central Western Daily Sport Editor Michelle Cook both predict a typically tight local derby clash.
Orange CYMS and Lithgow Workies will renew their traditional hostilities on Sunday.
Both heavyweights in recent seasons, CYMS have enjoyed a win in their only game this year, while Workies have struggled, posting a 0-2 record.
Nick sees these trends continuing and predicts a green and gold triumph at Wade Park.
Finally, the win-less Orange Hawks travel to Sid Kallis Oval to take on the highly-touted Magpies.
Despite coming off a disappointing loss Nick predicts the home side will prove too strong for the struggling Hawks.
Blayney has the bye.
