After conceding 22 points to the Raiders last Monday night, Canterbury's defence was a lot stronger and tighter against the Storm, as they held the home side to only 12 points for the game.
Several last-ditch tackles were made in the first half to keep the Storm out, as Cameron Munster and Marika Koroibete were unable to find the line after looking certain to score.
A gang tackle drove Blake Green 10 metres and over the touchline midway through the first half, in what was a strong representation of the tenacity of the Bulldogs defence throughout the match.
