After the Blues downed North Tamworth 20-18 in a round 11 clash at Narrabri on Sunday, Rumsby was asked why his side had been able to topple Norths twice this season but had lost their two matches against Gunnedah.
With four matches to go before the finals, North Tamworth sits atop the ladder on 18 points, with nine wins and two losses.
Gunnedah also have 18 points but the Bears’ for-and-against percentage is far superior.
Gunnedah coach Sean Hayne mentioned the importance of gaining a two-point buffer over third-placed Narrabri following the Bulldogs’ 50-22 win over the Blues two rounds back.
