Dunbar also notched a conversion on the day, and was joined by Tom Kendall, Nicholas Makeham, Watene Kuka, Simione Tokomaata and NSW addition TJ Pieters in the try-scoring department.
Tigers president Isaac Anderson said coach Jai Maluga gave his players plenty of feedback after the close loss to the Devonport Bulls a week prior.
Anderson credited the win to the Tigers' staunch defensive effort.
"Obviously keeping them to zero points is pretty pleasing," he said.
"The boys as a team protected really well and never gave the opposition a chance to attack."

Anderson said Tigers winger Manu Fifita, who scored two tries himself, was crucial in opening lanes for scoring.
