Rising playmaker Jake Averillo produced the best game of his young NRL career to help end Canterbury's five-match losing streak with a 28-6 upset win over St George Illawarra at Stadium Australia on Monday.
The Bulldogs were at their giant-killing best against a Dragons outfit that lacked any real urgency or desire to back up their mammoth win against the Broncos last week, causing huge concerns for Anthony Griffin.
Averillo scored two tries and kicked six goals to guide the Belmore outfit around the paddock, while Jeremy Marshall-King's return after a three-month foot injury also proved pivotal in the boilover.
