The Canterbury Bulldogs have clawed their way back into the finals after an eight-year drought, and they're poised to build on that success in 2025.
Under the guidance of coach Cameron Ciraldo and with the legendary Phil Gould calling the shots behind the scenes, the Bulldogs exceeded expectations last season.
A first-round exit from the finals has left the team hungry for more success, especially with a fresh batch of recruits bolstering their ranks.
The roster has seen a significant overhaul in recent years, with a constant shuffle of players in and out of the squad.
Youth development remains a priority for the Belmore-based team, but they're also counting on their key players to step up and deliver on the field.
The halves combination, in particular, showed promising signs in the latter part of 2024 and looks to be a solid foundation for the team moving forward.
