Oberon Tigers have achieved wins in under 18s, first division and premier league over the past six weeks.
President Ian Christie-Johnston said the club was struggling for numbers at the beginning of the season.
“For all three grades to be constantly winning is great,” he said.
“With the signing of the Rose boys (George, Matt and Trent), Abel Lefaoseu, Anton Wereta and Jason Ferris and under guidance of coach Zac Rowlandson the game plans are coming together.
“With the Tigers doing so well, Oberon’s local talent has been lifted to a new level.
“Blake Fitzpatrick, Jackson Brien, Kirk Roberts, Tyler Hughes, Luke Christie-Johnston and Riccie Arriola have the skills and are valued players for the Oberon Tigers.
“First division have a lot of recruitments with a line-up of 25 players last week.
“The wins have caused a lot of interest in the town – at the home games we are getting over 1200 spectators through the gate.
“On Sunday the premier side did a lap of honour thanking the crowd for their support.
“It’s been a long time between drinks for Oberon – in fact it’s been 41 years since Oberon’s premier side was in a grand final.
“At this stage it looks like we can think about finals football.
“If we are going to get the home game advantage in the final series we are going to have to start talking to business houses and Oberon Council to see how we can accommodate the crowds.
