On Monday, Detective Inspector Jason Darcy said Oxley detectives had been in Wee Waa investigating the assault.
"Police expect to make a number of arrests and those investigations are continuing," he said.
"Oxley detectives are out in Wee Waa following those lines of inquiry and there will be more to come."
The reported brawl broke out in Empire Place in Wee Waa about 6pm on Sunday.
Police were deployed to the quiet street where they found three men injured, including a 32-year-old suffering serious injuries.
Ambulance paramedics worked to treat the man for head injuries before he was transported to Wee Waa hospital.
Due to his condition, and the nature of his injuries, doctors made the call to transfer him for specialist treatment.
He was flown to John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle and remained in a serious condition late on Monday.
Paramedics also treated a 22-year-old man, as well as a 27-year-old man, for various injuries at the scene.
One of the patients was taken to Wee Waa hospital for emergency treatment but has since been released, police confirmed.
Detective Darcy said investigations into the incident continue.
