It was a solid 43-25 victory for the Phantoms, who moved up one position on the Southern Inland ladder into sixth.
Coach Seru Rogo said the game was a mixed bag for the Phantoms.
"We did score early, but then after that, we let them get a bit of a jump on us," he said.

"It was a very good win for us, but our slow start could have cost us.
"Luckily we did come out after half-time and play much better."
Going into the match, Rogo had been hopeful the Phantoms could continue with their recent winning ways.
Leeton need to continue winning each of their matches in the lead up to the finals series.
However, this weekend they face one of the top sides in Wagga Ag College.
"Our goal is definitely to still make the finals," Rogo said.
"We've got to keep winning. That's all we can do at the moment.
"Some of the other results (between other teams) will probably have to go our way as well."
The match on Saturday was the Phantoms' second last home game of the 2019 season.
