Canterbury have stayed in the race for the NRL top four with a gritty and controlled 30-10 win over a Dolphins side that now has a tenuous grip on eighth position.
The clash in Bundaberg had a finals-style atmosphere befitting what was at stake. The Bulldogs will finish round 24 in fifth position on 32 points but the Dolphins may yet slip out of the finals places by the end of the round if St George Illawarra beat Gold Coast on Sunday.
