The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs concluded their Pre-season Challenge with a dominant 28-0 win against the Newcastle Knights.
This victory sets the stage for their upcoming Round 1 match in Las Vegas.
Coach Cameron Ciraldo fielded nearly a full-strength squad, featuring Captain Stephen Crichton, Viliame Kikau, and Lachlan Galvin at McDonald Jones Stadium.
The Bulldogs took control early, jumping to a 10-0 lead within just four minutes thanks to two quick tries.
A pivotal moment came when Viliame Kikau executed an impressive one-on-one tackle, forcing an error from the Knights.
Kikau was instrumental again, providing the final pass to Jonathan Su'a, who scored the opening try.
Su'a followed up with a brilliant cross-field kick that allowed Matt Burton to score effortlessly behind the posts.
Sadly, Burton's night concluded prematurely due to a hamstring injury, and he will undergo scans for further evaluation.
