In 2025, Bulldogs.com.au reported on the highlights of the club's 90-Year Anniversary, showcasing notable moments including a six-match winning streak that marked an unprecedented start to the season.
The season commenced powerfully with a 28-20 victory over rivals St George Illawarra at Nestrata Stadium. Bulldog Marcelo Montoya opened the scoring with the first try of 2025, followed by new signing Sitili Tupouniua, who secured victory with a remarkable double in just six minutes.
One week later, the Bulldogs showcased a dominant performance against the Gold Coast Titans at Belmore Sports Ground. In this match, seven different players scored in a collaborative 40-24 triumph, epitomizing the strength of the team.
In Round 3, the Bulldogs faced off against arch-rivals, the Parramatta Eels, at Commbank Stadium. Despite the close nature of the game, they emerged victorious with a 16-8 score, highlighted by Daniel Suluka-Fifita's first NRL try.
Round 4 brought another exciting road victory, with a 20-6 win against 2024 Preliminary Finalists, Cronulla. On a chilly Sutherland Shire night, Bronson Xerri, a former Shark, scored twice and young talent Jack Todd debuted in the NRL.
The Bulldogs celebrated their first home match of the year at Accor Stadium by making a strong statement against the Newcastle Knights, achieving a 20-nil shutout in honor of Multicultural Round. Kurt Mann notably marked his 200th NRL game with this victory.
The crowning achievement of the streak was a stunning 32-nil obliteration of South Sydney during the annual Good Friday match, undoubtedly the highlight of the winning run.
