Then in the second half, Luke White became the eighth try-scorer for Barraba and then quickly doubled up.
Halloran, who kicked five goals, and Hall also scored doubles while hooker Darlington crossed for a brilliant trifecta of tries.
In all, 10 of the Bulldogs scored in one of their biggest and best wins.
“It was a bit rough early, though,” Bulldogs captain-coach Tim Coombes said.
“Knew we had to start well and a few of the boys were a bit nervy too. But we were right once we got into it. We were able to put on a good show.”
The Robins ran into a red-hot Bulldogs and chased them all day.
“They hit us early,” Robins captain-coach Shane Howarth said. “They were just too good. They were good all season and it was a well deserved win.”
He added: “[But] it’s still been a good season.”
