It wasn't all one-way traffic however, with Junee fighting back in the second half to hold back the charging Bulls.
Junee captain Mark Halliburton said the team had drawn a lot from the game against the Wagga team and would be working on a few areas ahead of its clash with Albury this weekend at Laurie Daley Oval.
Last weekend, the Bulls used their speed out wide to blitz the field in the first half against a Junee side missing big men such as Tom Diggins and Wal Makeham.
During the second half, the Diesels were able to turn the tide and got over the line - with Moses Manu scoring the team's only try, converted by Hayden Diggins.
Despite the overwhelming scoreline, Halliburton said no-one in the team was writing the season off.
"There's no-one who wants to pack their bags and quit ... the blokes enjoy playing against sides like Albury," Halliburton said.
"The only team we haven't been competitive with is Southcity, every other team we've been in every other game by two points."
Halliburton rated Daniel Foley and Simon Wilson's performances on the paddock.
"(Foley) did a lot of cover defence and attacked well with the ball when given the chance," he said.
"Simon Wilson has really stepped up since being put in as hooker - he's a reliable defender and has got good speed out of dummy half."
