Canterbury loses by whisker

Having led 22-6 after less than half an hour, the Tigers then simply imploded.
Their fade-out threatened to take their slim finals hopes with them in the face of a plucky Dogs outfit.
By the time the clock struck 55 minutes, Canterbury were back at level pegging, albeit in the most controversial of circumstances.
Having drawn to within a converted try, Jeremy Marshall-King split the Tigers up the middle, only to nearly bomb the four-pointer by being too selfless with the line looming.
Having lost his bearings in a desperate tackle, Marshall-King offloaded to Aiden Tolman – a man oft accused of popping up too often in attacking real estate – for him to find the line.
Tolman did so, but lost possession in the process. However after pinning the ball to his chest in the grounding, was awarded the try for a 22-22 deadlock.
Blows were traded for another 15 minutes, with Canterbury copping a hefty one as Kieran Foran limped off with an ankle issue, only for Marshall-King to land another.
From there it was tit for tat until the dying minutes of the match, saw the Tigers score a field goal and seal the deal.
Bulldogs interim coach Steve Georgallis said the players did a great job coming back into the game and hitting the lead.
“Their efforts have always been there; they just need to be smarter with parts of their game,” he said.
“It’s tough, it’s disappointing. I can’t thank them enough for their efforts but again, we didn’t get the win.”
