The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have registered a convincing victory in Round 22 of the Intrust Super Premiership NSW, defeating the Newtown Jets 54-26 as they surge towards a top four finish.

Francis Tualau and Rhyse Martin were constantly threatening for the home side, with Martin continuing his try-scoring form to cross twice and Tualau breaking the Jets' defence apart on more than one occasion. Josh Cleeland was superb yet again in his prolonged push for an NRL debut, while Reimis Smith and Richie Kennar looked dangerous on their respective edges. Newtown, meanwhile, were a rejuvenated side soon after halfback Luke Towers came onto the field early in the second half.

It was a new-look Bulldogs spine taking the field at Belmore, with the side bolstered by the inclusion of Michael Lichaa. The hooker played his first game of Intrust Super Premiership NSW of 2017 - forcing Craig Garvey to the bench and young gun Zac Woolford out of the side - but only played the first half before swapping with Garvey. Kerrod Holland returned to the centres in place of the NRL-elevated Brenko Lee, while Tom Carr lined up at fullback after a fantastic outing in Round 21. The Jets welcomed back the experienced Joseph Paulo at five-eighth.

It didn't take long for Paulo to stamp his mark on the game; in the Jets' first raid on the Bulldogs' line, the 29-year-old put a neat grubber in to result in the opening try of the afternoon. A defelction off the posts was cleaned up by prop Kurt Dillon, with Paulo easily converting for a 6-0 lead.

Reimis Smith appeared to have the perfect reply minutes later but was ruled to have lost it in the in-goal, before a mishap by Carr almost gifted the Jets a second. When Rhyse Martin hit a hole at pace minutes later, however, the home side got on the board. Martin converted his own try to even things up.

A good offload from Rod Griffin soon found Lachlan Lewis to go close to scoring and the Bulldogs earned a penalty immediately after, but were unable to capitalise with an error in the ensuing set. Both sides took turns in turning over ball in dangerous positions and it looked as though 6-all could be the half-time score, but Josh Cleeland had other ideas. The nifty five-eighth stepped off the right foot to show some nice agility to score from close range, again converted for a 12-6 scoreline.

Half-time was closing in and the home side still wasn't done with, as Martin capped off a fantastic 100-metre set by scoring his second. It came off the back of a 40-metre break from Francis Tualau, who exploited a tired Newtown defence, with Martin eventually muscling over for his second double in as many weeks. Adding the extras from out wide, Martin's Bulldogs headed into the sheds leading 18-6.

Having scored twice in the final eight minutes of the opening half, the Bulldogs showed no signs of slowing down in the second; Richie Kennar showed incredible strength to reach out and plant the ball down in the first set after the resumption. With Kerrod Holland taking over kicking duties, the conversion was successful yet again and Canterbury-Bankstown led 24-6.

The Jets desperately needed something to get back into the game and began to throw the ball around, looking likely when pressing the Bulldogs' line. A wayward pass soon fell into the hands of Asipeli Fine, however, who ran 50 metres before offloading to speedster Reimis Smith. The centre scored a length-of-the-field try with Holland converting again.

With all the momentum the blue-and-whites were suddenly doing it easily and just three minutes later they scored again. Bronson Garlick slipped through in broken play to find Carr, who scored under the posts to make it 36-6.

Points would finally come for Newtown shortly after off the back of a penalty, thanks to no.7 Luke Towers. The usual halfback, who found himself benched for Paulo's inclusion, grubbered to Edrick Lee to score the Jets' second. Towers would continue to prove his value minutes later with a break, once again resulting in an Edrick Lee try after a right-side movement.

All of a sudden the visitors were experiencing a rejuvenated run of momentum, scoring the third try in the north-eastern corner in quick succession. This time it came via former Bulldog Reubenn Rennie, with Paulo finally converting to reduce his side's deficit to 16.

The Jets threatened to close the gap further but when Lewis passed close to the line to find Fine, he put the result beyond doubt. Holland converted and it was 42-20 in the Bulldogs' favour with 12 minutes remaining.

A cruel deflection from a grubber gave Jason Schirnack a try as points flowed at Belmore, but it would be too little, too late for Greg Matterson's men. As they looked to score another, a poorly-directed bomb was batted back infield by Tyla Tamou, bouncing up nicely for Cleeland to sprint 100 metres and score a second.

The final try of the game went the favour of the Bulldogs, with Andy Saunders crashing over to bring his side's total beyond 50. With Holland converting, the Bulldogs finished 54-26 victors.

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 48 (R Martin 2, J Cleeland 2, R Kennar, R Smith, T Carr, A Fine tries; K Holland 5, R Martin 3 goals) Newtown Jets 26 (E Lee 2, K Dillon, R Rennie, J Schirnack tries; J Paulo 3 goals)

Dogs 54 Jets 26
Cleeland & Lewis very good in the halves
Tualau & Tooamoga barnstorming
Lichaa fantastic in first half - really enjoyed his playing footy; running from DH & even a deft little kick

 

[flamebouyant]

So good to see a bulldogs side post more the 50 points. Surely cleeland is worthy of an NRL dwbut for us after another 2 try efffort.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Wow that's a shock to the system.

 

[Baby Blues]

Did we just have a Bulldogs game with 9/9 goal kicking? That's unheard of under Hasler

 

[CrittaMagic69]

It would take us 2 months to kick 9 goals hahahaha

 

[Dogzof95]

I thought all three grades were going to be playing the same style of football? I can see why Hasler the imposter is not happy!

From what I heard on radio this arvo that is a pretty fine assessment of the game. I am so glad to see the boys are having some success after a few lean miserable years. They came home with a bit of a wet sail last year to qualify to play in the finals series only to exit early so I am hoping that they can have a red hot go this year. Heavens knows we need some representation as we are not going to get it from the other two sides.
Watched the team song and it was so good to see Sean White join in enthusiastically with the celebrations. I feel like sending vision of it to our coach and first grade players so they can refresh their memories as to how the victory song goes. We have lost the ability to win games and that is sad.

I think after the Reynold's send off at Belmore, they must think we're in preseason after winning the GF against the knights!

Well, we have not even looked like winning a game since then and honestly we were looking pretty ordinary even before that.

They had the bye the following week to contemplate the Belmore win and have not turned up since. As I said, I truly believe that the coach has lost the dressing room and the players are marking time until the end of round 26. .

 

[Wolfmother]

That's exciting stuff. I'd love to watch our first grade team play against them.
