Sequels are rarely as good as the original as the Bulldogs found out when they returned to Belmore Sports Ground for the second time in 2015 for Sunday afternoon football. In a dour struggle it was the Sharks, led by former Dogs skipper Michael Ennis, who would return and guide the Shire-based club back into the top eight of the NRL Telstra Premiership. Shaun Johnson's season was ended after he suffered a broken leg as the Warriors copped another loss – this time to the Sea Eagles. Otherwise it was a one-sided round with the Broncos, Roosters, Rabbitohs and Cowboys all recording huge wins over teams who eventually finished in the bottom five of the competition.
