Canterbury Bulldogs beat Newcastle Knights for the fifth victory

“We took a lot of work in the first half and we went out in the second half and we played our style more … I am really happy with how our defense is building, we are improving every week … The Holy Friday game will be a great opportunity for us here with a big crowd and it seems that we could have some difficult decisions to take.”

To due merit of one side of 14 knights, who was down of two men in the first two minutes.

Marquee’s striker Jacob Saifiti did not come into heating or once the game started, but in the middle he suffered a calf injury while running out of the Tunnel of Accoriium and on the paddock.

The James Schiller wing joined him as a 90 second scratch after being left bloody, stunned and failed his subsequent hia from a head clash with Daniel Suluka-Fifita.

Halfback Jack Cogger played with a dislocated finger, but their remitted defensive line committed when the knights had every right to dry.

“In terms of who we are as a team and our DNA, I think we showed it tonight,” said Captain Kalyn Ponga.

Adam O’Brien added: “I am really proud of them to cross what they have done from the point of view of the staff … we can build on that performance-the basis of being a gritty team have returned”.

Although 60 % of possession of the first half and 70 % of the territory was enjoyed, Bulldogs could not decipher something more than a first penalty goal for Skipper Stephen Crichton.

The Bulldogs captain was paved by an ongoing nervous problem in his shoulder when he made accidental contact with the striker of the Knights Adam Elliott. In the end Crichton recovered and played and once the second half started, the points also did.

Josh Curran was at the end of a bats from the return of the Jacob Kiraz wing, who was a normal air target that aligned in front of a Stocky wing of Newcastle Greg Marzhew.

When the bunker denied Kurt Mann in his 200th game Nrl, the multicultural turn of the Nrl was celebrated by the crowd with an outlet of companies from all over the world.

The knights were doing the same when Jack Hetherington retired with a shoulder concern, but they clung into gloomy.

But when Mann came again from a short radius, the Milestone man with a still persistent three -week black eye, they were unable to stop him.

Canterbury has now been 5-0 for the first time since 1993, with a better defense of the NRL who has statistics that pervade the records of records.

And the fans of the dogs, after almost a decade of anguish, have understandably suffocated by everything.
