When Sione Moala and Samuel Inoke crashed over for Canterbury, the Tigers desperately tried to keep the margin to 10 points before half-time but Reuben Moyle scored on the hooter to give the Bulldogs a 20-6 lead at the break.
Bulldogs hooker Danny Ghantous grubbered for himself to score the opening points of the second stanza, with Cameron Lawrence and Inoke (who scored a double), crossing late to secure a big win for the Bulldogs.
