Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs: The Grand Final: it’s the game that every player aspires to; the rare opportunity that makes all the blood, sweat and toil of the season fade away – to be replaced by a tantalising chance for glory. It is the singular occasion that unites all Rugby League fans, parochial and neutral alike. It represents the culmination of a journey, the showpiece event where legends are forged on one fateful Sunday afternoon each year. And it has provided our great game with some of its most dramatic moments and epic contests in the history of Rugby League.

The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs joined the competition in 1935, taking a mere four years to get their first taste of Premiership glory, quickly backing this early success up with a second Premiership in 1942. After going through a lean patch in the 60’s and 70’s the emergence of young superstars Steve Mortimer, Steve Folkes, Graeme Hughes and Geoff Robinson heralded a new era in Bulldogs history with the club claiming four premierships and earning the title “The Entertainers”.
