'Bulldogs fans are just on fire at the moment,' said Halligan.
'It's like a tidal wave of support crashing over the team and propelling them towards that elusive premiership.'
Halligan reminisced about the glory days of the mid-90s, where fans would line the streets to send their team off to battle.
'It was like something out of a sports movie,' he recalled.
'The passion and dedication of the fans was like a shot of adrenaline for us players.'
The current Bulldogs squad has been on a tear lately, with fans turning Belmore into a sea of blue and white.
The drums beat like a heartbeat, the chants rang out like battle cries, and the flags and streamers waved like victory banners.
'It's like nothing I've ever seen before,' said Halligan, as he recalled the magic of the 1995 season.
'The fans are like the extra player on the field, giving the team that extra boost when they need it most.'
With a win on Friday, the Bulldogs could secure a home final in the play offs, a crucial advantage in the quest for the premiership.
Toovey, a legend in his own right, called on the fans to make the journey to Accor Stadium and support the team in their quest for glory.
So, as the Bulldogs gear up for their next battle, they know that they have the support of their fans behind them.
It's a feeling like no other, a sense of camaraderie and connection that can drive a team to greatness.
