A second half surge has delivered Wests their first victory of the year, with the Bulldogs outclassing Brothers at Crosby Park.

The Brethren headed to the sheds with a 3-nil lead courtesy of a Lawson Creighton penalty, before Wests ran in four tries in the second stanza to claim a 28-13 win in front of a strong Albion crowd.

It was Connor Anderson who started the scoring for the Bulldogs, after the skipper sneakily snatched the ball from the base of a scrum to go over the line.

A superb piece of support play then saw Jono Kent streak away to score in his first game in Wests colours, before tries to Jeremiah Skelton and Ilikena Vudogo put the result beyond doubt for the Bulldogs.
