Knights side;

Hinton
McManus
Young
McLouglin
Hartman
Tremain-Cannon
Dureau
White
Berry
Royal
Snowden
Mueller
Maddison

Bartlett
Natusch
Grant
Spiteri

A very weak side for the Knights this week. The halves in particular are weakened by Witt being unavailable and Campbell being promoted to firstgrade. Young Scott Dureau is having his third game in Pl at 7, and has done a good job for a junior, but is not yet up to the standard of Campbell or Witt. Tremain-Cannon is a very ineffective 5/8 and should really return to fullback or the wing.

The bench also lacks strong forwards.

McLouglin is better known as a second row forward, but it seems he is being used in the centres now (for last three games). He has size and tackling ability, but his positional play has been a bit ordinary so far.

Bulldogs 32 (M Richter, F Filiga, P Faamita, S Makisi, L Young, J Hickey tries; L Young 4 goals) defeated North Sydney 30 (J Russell, L Fatnowna, A Heremaia, A Kiro, B Kalcina tries; R Retimana 5 goals)

The Bulldogs scored in the last minute to win the game. The Bears should have won becuase the Bulldogs second last try should not have been allowed after a Bulldogs player knocked on contesting a bomb, and previously in that set of six a Bulldogs player had been pushed into touch before passing back inside but the touchjudge didnt see it.
