The Mitsubishi Electric Bulldogs have begun their season 2007 campaign with a 26-16 trial win over St George Illawarra at WIN Stadium in Wollongong tonight.
In a match marked down as a trial, there was certainly plenty of feeling as it entered the latter stages.
The Bulldogs trailed the home side 6-0 early before big prop Jarrad Hickey made his way over the line. Holdsworth converted and the scores were locked at 6-6.
The Bulldogs found themselves down 16-12 at the break following a late try to Matt Cooper. The response was a quick one from the Bulldogs, with Matt Utai scoring early in the second half before the 'Dogs went on to win 26-16.
Utai picked up an ankle injury mid-way through the second half, however the full extent of the injury is not yet known.
