First up in the league tag, the unbeaten Hawks couldn't be stopped as they toppled their opponents 36-4.
Team manager Melinda Cox couldn't find many faults in their attack and said their main weakness was found in their defensive line in what was otherwise a good all-round effort.
"Our set plays are working really well and the girls are completing each set which gives us a lot more ground," she said.
"The girls need to work on getting on side and need to have a good look around for gaps."
Cox highlighted the performances from a handful of players.
"Tishari Morgan worked well in the middle. Brittney Gerrard stepped up a lot more this week, assisting with tries and converting two," she said.
The men's team made it two from two for the day with a 58-10 drubbing of the Eels.
Coach Brock Mathers applauded their defence.
"Our defence has improved out of sight since game one," he said.
"The confidence and belief in each other is growing each game.
"The whole performance was impressive and [there was] some great tries scored.
"We are learning to win games and shut teams out."
Mathers highlighted the efforts of half Steve McIntosh who scored three tries as well as Bailey Cosgrove who stepped into the lock role.
He also credited Narwan.
"Unfortunately Narwan had a few injuries and concussions. So I guess that helped us and turned the game," Mathers said.
"Narwan were great and tried hard all game, didn't give up and when they get a few games together, they will definitely beat a few sides.
"The game was played in good spirits."
Mathers said they are looking forward to the local derby against the Roosters on Saturday in Ashford and they will be working on a few things during the week.
"Starting strong, limit ball handling errors and continue to build our culture at the club of respect," he said.
"We need to respect Ashford and understand they will be ready to play."
