Canterbury Bulldogs coach Cameron Ciraldo says second rower Sitili Tupouniua is totally “devasated” after lasting just five minutes in his return game against the Roosters on Friday night. It is a bitter blow for the Bulldogs who are ninth on the ladder and in a scrap to play finals. They were really good for periods, but I think they’ll probably think they can play better as well. The Roosters’ win has blown the race for the NRL’s minor premiership wide open, moving up to second with, level on 36 points with ladder-leading Penrith. The victory gave the Roosters a seventh-straight win but also puts a major dent in Canterbury’s top-eight aspirations after they threatened to upset the home side.
