Bulldogs
reporting on the team's recent match against the Bulldogs.
"A second-half surge was not enough to propel the Dragons past the Bulldogs with Shane Millard's men falling 34-22 in their Jersey Flegg opener in Corrimal," the article states.
Despite the rain that "spat down throughout the contest," both teams showed their attacking prowess with Canterbury ultimately coming out on top in a "six-tries-to-four shootout."
"The hosts made a valiant effort with a five-minute, three-try spurt in the second half, but the Bulldogs managed to keep their poise and secure the competition points," reports the article.
The Dragons began to find their rhythm with "Toby Rumble taking in a perfect Lyric Craft-Te Moananui flick and evading the cover to dive over in the corner," showcasing some impressive teamwork.
"Clay Baldock nailed the extras from the touchline to cut the deficit back to 18-6," the article mentions, highlighting the team's determination to claw their way back into the game.
Although a penalty helped the hosts get back on the attack, "another mistimed error halted their raid," showing the importance of executing plays flawlessly in high-pressure situations.
