The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs faced a 38-16 defeat against the Cronulla Sharks at Suncorp Stadium during Magic Round.
This match marked a significant moment for the club, with Captain Stephen Crichton celebrating his 150th NRL game, and Matt Burton hitting 100 matches as a Bulldog.
The fans were also treated to the debut of Jack Underhill, who came off the bench.
The Sharks started strong, and although the Bulldogs made a second-half push, it wasn't enough to change the outcome.
Cronulla opened the scoring with Will Kennedy's aerial contest leading to Brayden Trindall's try, making it 6-0.
Ronaldo Mulitalo, back from injury, scored next, and while Nicho Hynes missed the conversion, he later secured a penalty goal.
The Sharks expanded their lead to 24-0 with two more tries from Kennedy and Hohepa Puru, both converted by Hynes.
Desperate for a score, the Bulldogs capitalized on a Sharks error caused by a high Matt Burton kick, leading to Jacob Preston's unopposed try.
