The Bulldogs NYC side had a tough round two, going down to the Penrith Panthers 46-6, while their round three opponents the Eels were defeated by the Cowboys, 34-12.
After a convincing win in round one, the young pups found it tough against the 2015 premiers who ran in eight tries to one at the end of 80 minutes and the blue and whites unable to ever get into the match.
Their opponents this week, the Parramatta Eels went down to the North Queensland Cowboys thanks largely to doubles from both North Queensland wingers. The Eels crossed for three tries, but will spend the week working on their goal-kicking after Michael Doolan missed all three shots at goal.
