An emotional Trent Barrett labelled Canterbury’s first win under his coaching as arguably the best of his career after the Bulldogs created history by becoming the first club to use the NRL’s new 18th man rule in Saturday night’s18-12 defeat of Cronulla.
Barrett was in tears at full-time as he embraced Canterbury players on the sideline and he praised their courage and resolve to repeatedly repel the Sharks despite losing forwards Chris Smith and Matt Doorey in the first half and hooker Brad Deitz late in the match.
With Sharks forward Siosifa Talakai sin-binned for a shoulder charge that forced Doorey from the field in the 26th minute, Barrett was able to call halfback Brandon Wakeham onto his bench because Canterbury had lost a player due to foul play and he played the last five minutes.

It’s hard to make sense of the Indiana Pacers this season. They’ll win 7 of 10 and then go on a four-game losing skid. Their last three losses Clippers, Jazz, Hawks. Last three wins Thunder, Rockets, Grizzlies. Seems like they are a good bad team or a mediocre team that can’t do much to overcome the injury bug. That’s the kind of team that can click on all cylinders against an overmatched team like Detroit. Or they might just not show up at all and get run off the court.
