Esan Marsters from the touchline doesn't have enough power for the ball to get over the posts but its across the face anyway
The great finish is given the all clear by Jared Maxwell in the bunker as David Nofoaluma finishes off in the southwest corner

Henry Perenara gets the thumbs up from the TV networks and calls time on for the second half. Tigers using the ball first in the second half

Canterbury poke through but there's a forward pass called and the Tigers get it back with a scrum just inside their own half and have about 50 seconds to level things with a try before halftime...
Another gift penalty in front and the Bulldogs opt to take a six point lead, Mbye obliges.
Lolohea's dropped a down-field high kick. Not his day so far. Bulldogs scrum 25m out.
Marsters pushes this one wide from the sideline.
Benji Marshall throws a SUBLIME cut-out pass which finds former Canterbury winger Corey Thompson on the sideline. Tigers on the board!
Now the Tigers pick up a penalty on their own 30m. They go for touch and start again from halfway.
Canterbury with another chance at the Wests Tigers' line but their forwards fall short repeatedly and the last-tackle option is again poor from Jeremy Marshall-King.
Lolohea can't get hands to an inside ball by Brooks just over halfway. Bulldogs scrum.
Bunker consulted for a possible Tigers try, but the lead-up is no good. Fonua took advantage of a space created by Chris Lawrence bundling Foran and Raymond Faitala-Mariner out of the way. Penalty Canterbury.
Benji Marshall with a cleverly-placed fourth-tackle grubber, Brooks can't quite get to it but does pressure Frawley into batting it dead. Drop-out Bulldogs.

Luke Brooks throws a huge bomb up but Moses Mbye takes it comfortably despite attention.
He steers it inside the right upright. Good start for the blue and whites.
Brett Morris benefits from a clever wide ball by John Olive! B Moz straightens things up too to ensure it's easier for Moses Mbye.
Now the Tigers earn a repeat set but then bottle it. Bulldogs make their way out of their own end.
A poor last-tackle kick from the 'Dogs this time sees the home side come away with the ball, then they keep the momentum going by earning a penalty. Halfway is where they start.
The Bulldogs chip it across the field and Corey Thompson has just jumped from the wrong side of the goal-line for the Tigers and he's forced in-goal. Drop-out, more footy for the Dogs.
First penalty goes the Bulldogs and they'll go straight onto the attack.
We're underway, Lolohea kicks us off and former Tiger Aaron Woods is booed as he takes the first hit up.
Not far off a start at ANZ Stadium. Canterbury and Wests Tigers make their way out onto the field in those Mark Hughes Foundation Beanies for Brain Cancer. Head to the MHF website and buy yours - it's not too late!
