The Bulldogs will rue a lost chance after also kicking seven behinds in that term.
“One team’s mindset is to hang on and the other one’s trying to win, it became tense and tight,” delighted Saints’ co-coach Terry Burgess said.

Captain Matt Dussin was also outstanding, while counterpart Jackson Russell was the Bulldogs’ best.
