Bulldogs star Viliame Kikau aims to repay coach Cameron Ciraldo by securing a premiership.
Kikau praised Ciraldo for transforming Canterbury into serious title contenders.
Last year, the Fijian forward extended his contract for two more years, solidifying their long-standing relationship.
Having joined the Bulldogs together in 2023, they have played vital roles in the club's impressive rise to the top four.
With his contract running until 2028, Kikau acknowledges he's nearing the end of his career.
He is determined to help Ciraldo achieve his first premiership as a head coach.
The Bulldogs are heavily favored in their upcoming game, with few expecting St George Illawarra to win.
However, the Dragons are entering the match with confidence, ready to surprise their strong opponents.
