The Bulldogs have backed up last week's stunning victory over the Eels by hammering the Wests Tigers 36-12
The Bulldogs dominated possession on their way to a six tries to one victory that saw the Dogs notch 30 points or more in consecutive games for the first time in six years.
It is the first time that the Bulldogs have won consecutive NRL matches in a single campaign since round 22 and 23 of the 2019 season — a 59-match run.
"That was the talk the whole week," Matt Burton told ABC Grandstand of the importance of backing up from Monday's victory.
"We played well last week but the biggest thing was coming here today and doing it all again.
Jeremy Marshall-King burrowed over from dummy half to open the scoring for the Bulldogs before a Josh Addo-Carr misread in defence gave the prolific David Nofoaluma an extra inch of space to collect a cross-field kick and burrow over in the corner to level the scores.
Jake Averillo scored either side of half time to help the Dogs to a lead that would never seriously be threatened for the remainder of the match, much to the delight of their increasingly thrilled supporters.
Lebanon international Jacob Kiraz, who provided an inadvertent assist for Averillo's second, crossed himself soon after as the Dogs opened up the left edge defence.
Kurtis Morrin was sent through to score on debut after some more slack defence from the Tigers, who were bereft of possession for long periods.
When they did come within a outstretched arm of scoring, Aaron Schoupp intercepted and went the length of the field to score another.
Paul Vaughan was sent to the bin in the closing minutes, allowing James Tamou the space to dart through and score a late consolation for the sorry Tigers, who fell to a third successive defeat.
Addo-Carr and Burton both threatened at times, the former running for 161 metres and an assist for Morrin's try.
Burton kicked six-from-six off the tee as well as sending a number of teasing bombs up out of hand.
The Tigers day started badly, losing Alex Twal inside the opening 90 seconds after he was left reeling following contact with Burton.
Burton's arm appeared to land on Twal's neck as the pair fell to the ground following the kick at the completion of the Dogs' first set, precipitating a lengthy delay as the medicart was called.
Twal was later seen smiling in the sheds but played no further role in the contest.
Canberra Raiders survive a ferocious Newcastle Knights fightback to claim dramatic win
Hudson Young's last-minute solo try saved Canberra's blushes as the Raiders held off the Knights to record a dramatic 20-18 victory.
With the Raiders out of interchange options due to injury and James Schiller nursing a collarbone injury in back play, Young spotted Kalyn Ponga out of position on the third tackle to nudge a kick in behind the line and cross under the posts.
"I thought it was gunna get away from us," Young told ABC Sport after the game.
"[I] dunno why I kicked it, but I did."
Young was more certain when talking to Fox Sports though, saying the move had its inception during the week.
"I seen him [Ponga] on the short side and I actually told one of our coaches I was gunna try and do that this week, so [I'm] happy I pulled it off," he said.
"I just play off-the-cuff footy and I'm loving my time at the moment."
The Raiders were trailing by four at the time after the Knights produced a stunning comeback from 14-0 down to lead 14-18 with time running out.
The Raiders had run in three unanswered tries in 14 first-half minutes through Nick Cotric, Matthew Timoko and Xavier Savage.
But the Knights, who were easily second-best in the opening 40, struck back through Nick Cotric just before half time, sparking a dramatic comeback that bought them within two minutes of a remarkable win.
With Ponga visibly distressed with a stomach complaint, the Knights were long odds to peg the Raiders back.
However, a late shot on Ponga from Elliott Whitehead that saw the Englishman sent to the bin and placed on report gave the Knights the impetus to run over the top of their hosts.
Mat Croker crossed in the next play with the Raiders down to 12, followed shortly after by Edrick Lee to put the Knights ahead by two.
Lee thought he had a second with nine minutes remaining after Xavier Savage's attempt to keep a 40/20 attempt in play backfired.
However, the Raiders were given a huge let off when the Bunker correctly ruled that Croker knocked on when challenging Savage for the ball.
That decision proved crucial when Young bounced out of one tackle before grubbering through to himself to hand Jamal Fogarty a simple conversion in front of the posts to save the Raiders' blushes.
