The Bulldogs have unleashed their fury on the Knights with a commanding 36-12 victory, sending a clear message to the rest of the competition.
The Knights, missing their courageous captain Kalyn Ponga due to a foot injury, were already on the back foot against a fired-up Bulldogs outfit.
Ponga's absence proved to be a major blow for the Knights, who were struggling to keep up with the relentless pace and power of the Bulldogs.
Despite Ponga's warrior-like efforts while nursing a hip pointer injury, he was forced to watch from the sidelines in a moon boot as his team faltered.
In a display of sheer determination and grit, the Bulldogs wasted no time in asserting their dominance on the field.
Sam Hughes, stepping up to fill the void left by an injured teammate, bulldozed his way over the try line early on, setting the tone for a relentless attacking onslaught.
The Bulldogs continued to pile on the pressure, with Jaeman Salmon and Jacob Kiraz adding to the scoreboard with some slick moves and precision passing.
Drew Hutchison and Connor Tracey orchestrated a seamless play that resulted in Kiraz touching down in the corner, much to the delight of the roaring crowd.
With the likes of Josh Curran and Bradman Best showcasing their defensive skills and preventing further damage, the Knights tried to weather the storm.
However, the Bulldogs were in full flight, displaying a level of teamwork and cohesion that sent shockwaves through the competition.
As the final whistle blew, the Bulldogs emerged victorious in a thrilling display of skill and determination, leaving the Knights in their wake.
With this impressive win under their belts, the Bulldogs have signaled their intentions for the season ahead and shown that they are a force to be reckoned with in the Rugby League arena.
