It is an incredible query, Mike.
That’s certainly one of the best the Bulldogs have performed since their victory over Penrith in spherical six.
Matt Burton was working the ball, making metres and linking up with the returning Bronson Xerri, who I believed was good.
Jacob Kiraz performed an absolute blinder at fullback.
All three of these gamers, by the way in which, ran for over 200 metres.
As for the Storm – they had been good within the first half – excellent.
However within the second they lacked management and made far too many errors – just about the story of their season thus far.
