Matt Burton scored two tries as the Canterbury Bulldogs snapped a four-game losing streak with a 28-24 victory over the Melbourne Storm on May 23, 2026, at Accor Stadium in Sydney.
Burton, who has been the subject of contract speculation, was instrumental in the win, also contributing a try assist and several key kicks. Bulldogs supremo Phil Gould had earlier dismissed rumors of Burton leaving mid-contract, stating on a podcast that there was 'no chance' of him departing.
The Bulldogs led 22-6 at halftime, but the Storm mounted a second-half comeback, closing to within four points before Canterbury held on for the win. The victory moves the Bulldogs to 5-7 for the season, while the Storm drop to 8-4.
