The Eels are a completely different side when Mitchell Moses plays and he returned from injury to lead the home side to a comprehensive victory. Brown scored two tries in the second half off the back of Mitchell Moses grubbers to cap off a man-of-the-match display. However, it was their woeful defence that was the biggest issue against the Eels and they need to show far more desperation if they want to finish the season on a high. Dylan Brown is just as big a signing priority as his halves partner after he inspired the Eels to a big win with a superb outing at CommBank Stadium. Brown was at his brilliant best with 97 run metres, three tackle busts, an offload, a linebreak, two linebreak assists, three try assists and two tries to tear the Bulldogs to shreds. His pass to put Maika Sivo over in the corner in the first half was reminiscent of his former coach Andrew Johns at his best. Moses and Brown combined again with another grubber to give the No.6 his second try and push the Eels 38-6 ahead. Brown then finished off a pinpoint grubber from Moses with some brilliant soccer skills to score the Eels’ sixth of the afternoon and put the result to bed. It was raining tries for wingers when Maika Sivo got in on the party to push the Eels back out to a 10-point lead after a brilliant cutout pass from Brown. The Bulldogs opened the scoring with a penalty goal to Matt Burton after an Eels indiscretion. Aaron Schoupp produced a brilliant finish to get the Bulldogs back in the contest. The Eels thrashed the Bulldogs 42-6 in an eight-try rout with Dylan Brown and Mitchell Moses producing masterclasses at CommBank Stadium.

If you want to play like a good NRL team you've got to be able to control the footy and build some pressure on the opposition and we're not doing that at the moment." At the moment we are really struggling to do that and it's our discipline and it's on us. "We've showed in the big games what we can do, it's finding that want all the time, that desire to do it all the time, that's what we have to prove. Just to show that we are a good NRL team, not a bottom NRL team. "We just want to get into a grind with a team and not be so impatient. Brown's 14th try assist for the season was one of his best and you get the feeling there's plenty more to come from the classy 22-year-old five-eighth.
