Bulldogs boilover in Jersey Flegg Cup
The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have scored a crucial 28-12 victory over top four hopefuls Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks in their Round 6 Jersey Flegg Cup clash at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium.

Canterbury-Bankstown were able to retain their two-point lead going into halftime as James Valevatu ran in for a try less than five minutes before the break.
Right from the outset in the second half, the Bulldogs extended their lead to 28-8 after a brace to fullback Johnny Lee Gabrael and a four-pointer to Eli Clark. Dykes scored a second try late on to round out the 28-12 scoreline.
