Krisnan Inu has started his Canterbury career with a bang, inspiring his new club to a 30-12 win over Sydney Roosters in Monday's NRL clash at Allianz Stadium.
The mercurial former Parramatta utility back signed for the Bulldogs last Thursday from the Warriors and made an immediate impression, scoring two tries, setting up a third and kicking three goals as the Roosters slumped to a third successive defeat.
Des Hasler's side sealed the win on the back of some outstanding defence, soaking up intense pressure from the hosts in either half, but taking advantage when in possession to run in five tries.
The Roosters broke the deadlock in the ninth minute when Mitchell Pearce stepped off his right foot to slalom his way under the posts for his third try of the season.
The Bulldogs' response was swift as they took full advantage of a penalty conceded by Boyd Cordner to find good field position three minutes later, and Inu scored an easy try in his 100th career game.
