Eels overcome Bulldogs in nail biting game

Bulldogs v Eels

The Parramatta Eels have made it two wins from two to start the NRL season, coming from behind to beat the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 22-16 at Bankwest Stadium.

The Bulldogs had the better of the opening exchanges and took an early lead through a Matt Burton penalty goal.

The Eels hit back with a try to Marata Niukore in the 15th minute, but the Bulldogs regained the lead when Will Hopoate crossed for a try in the corner.

The Eels levelled the scores again just before half-time when Clint Gutherson scored a try off a Mitchell Moses grubber kick.
