The Blues did their part against Congupna at Tongala Recreation Reserve, recording a comfortable 55-37 victory.
The Road picked up some early wins this season, but found themselves mired in a losing streak, and the Blues were quick to show their quality.
A modest 13-9 quarter-time lead grew to seven goals by the half and Tongala continued to extend its advantage in the second half.
Ahead by double digits at the final break, the Blues would push on to take the game by 18 goals.
Grace Hammond’s side remains two-and-a-half games behind sixth-placed Numurkah, after the league’s other Blues continued their good form to also pick up a win in round 12.
Of the five teams below seventh-placed Tongala, it will take on four of them in the final six rounds, a draw it will hope can facilitate a late push towards the post-season.
Numurkah has a slightly tougher run home, but will go in favourite in three of its remaining six.
After the general by this Saturday, Tongala returns to action against struggler Barooga.
