The Bulldogs are off to their best start to a season in 11 years - but it was far from pretty as they out-lasted a determined Eels side 16-8 on Sunday afternoon. It's the first time Canterbury have started a season with three straight wins since 2014 - and they had to do it without key men Matt Burton and Viliame Kikau. While the Bulldogs struggled for long patches of the game, it's this performance that may well have pleased coach Cameron Ciraldo more than the previous two wins. The Eels came out desperate for some success and really tested the Canterbury defence. They applied plenty of pressure but the Bulldogs held firm for a vital win.
