The Canterbury Bulldogs have continued one of the greatest starts to an NRL season in recent memory, pulling off a 15-14 win over the North Queensland ...

To put it in context, since the golden point came into the competition in 2003, the most golden point matches in a season was 15 in the 2016 season. “It was tough at the end to miss that conversion from the sideline so I owed the boys one and just lucky enough to get that (field goal) away at the end there.” “Matt Burton with the golden left boot and absolutely comes out with a clutch play here to win it for the Dogs. Burton was buzzing after the match and said he needed to make it up to his teammates after hitting the post with his sideline conversion attempt. He had the opportunity to kick the conversion in normal regulation but in the hardest part, he had the calm, the precision and the skill to kick a 40m field goal and win it for the Dogs,” Cronk said. “If the Dogs were going to win it, it was always going to be Addo-Carr and Burton.

North Queensland failed to capitalise on an early lead against the Bulldogs, who prevailed in golden point through the boot of Matt Burton.

“To go out there and finish like that was a very special day to be a part of.” I’ve been proud of them every week but with the adversity they had to go through, and how they hung in there, super proud. “To lose in extra time like that after 80-odd minutes of scrapping was disappointing. “I was trying to tell myself I wasn’t nervous today, but I wasn’t hungry one bit. But to be fair, the game was there for us.” “It’s hard to put into words. To chip the fullback and come up with the ball and get us a repeat set … Missing that kick from the sideline, I owed the boys. Burton stepped up for the match-defining conversion. “It was pretty clutch. “Very excited about where his game can develop. “He’s like no one I’ve ever seen,” said Reynolds of Addo-Carr.

"We stayed the course. "That's a good stepping stone for us now and that's the baseline performance that we can really build our season on."

Will Kennedy breezed in for Cronulla and any hope of a Warriors comeback looked to have been extinguished when Niukore was sin-binned for a hip-drop tackle on Siosifa Talakai on the stroke of half-time. A torrential downpour ensued and the match took a further turn when Finucane was sin-binned for his tackle on Nicoll-Klokstad. The Warriors trailed for the near entirety of the match until they were awarded a penalty for a push on Josh Curran as he attempted to catch a loose ball he had hacked ahead. His role in the middle was a far-cry from the five-eighth spot for which he is best remembered by Bulldogs fans, but he brought much-needed energy when the chips were down and finished with 19 tackles. But it was not until Addo-Carr sailed over on the left in the final 45 seconds that the Bulldogs were able to level the scores, having remained on the attack for the final 10 minutes. The Cowboys maintained a slim lead for most of the match and enjoyed the better of first-half chances.
