Bulldogs coach Cameron Ciraldo's praised his players' temperament during a half-hour delay in their 24-18 NRL league win over the Rabbitohs

Canterbury were up 18-nil through 32 minutes when both teams were ordered from the field by the referee.



The break seemed to benefit South Sydney who scored the next two tries either side of half-time.

Ciraldo says the experience was unusual.



The Bulldogs lead the competition through 15 rounds with 26 points - two ahead of the Raiders and Warriors.
