Hooker Reece Goldmsith was again back to his scheming best from hooker in the win, a result which gives the Tigers two victories from the opening three rounds.
In even more positive news for Stewart Mills’ side is the fact Nyngan is yet to play a match at home, where the atmosphere at Larkin Oval makes it notoriously difficult for away sides to take home the points.
While the hard-running Yacadrau and Goldsmith were the stars there was also strong performances from winger Jone Kerevi and forwards Benny Cokanasgia, Troy Evans and Western Rams under 23s player Norman Fuiava, who all scored in the 26-point win.
The Tigers scored nine tries in the win, with fullback Sam Simmonds scoring once and kicking five goals.
Corey Cox was Narromine’s best in the loss, the Jets third straight to start the season, scoring once and nailing all four conversions.
The only worry for the Tigers is the fact prop Todd Rope was put on report for an alleged crusher tackle by referee Mick Medlin.
Nyngan will play at Larkin Oval for the first time in 2017 next weekend when the defending premiers, Forbes Magpies, roll into town.
Narromine will again play at Cale Oval next round and will take on a Wellington Cowboys side which scored its first win of the season this weekend.
