The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs will mark their 90th anniversary in style on Friday night, with ten former club captains taking the field before kick-off to honour the milestone ahead of the blockbuster clash against the Sydney Roosters.
Club legend George Peponis will be joined by Chris Anderson, Peter Tunks, Terry Lamb, Simon Gillies, Dean Britt, Steve Price, Mick Ennis, James Graham, Josh Jackson, and Andrew Ryan in a special pre-game tribute at Accor Stadium.
The celebration comes as the Bulldogs enjoy a resurgence both on and off the field, sitting atop the NRL ladder and averaging 35,700 fans per home game in 2025—a dramatic increase from 20,848 in 2024.
With CEO Aaron Warburton targeting 30,000 fans at every home game, Friday’s anniversary match is expected to be another major draw as Canterbury continues its push to become the best-supported club in the NRL.
