... NRL club seeks legal advice over whether it can stop paying players. So they had to find other things to talk about.”The players weren’t allowed to talk about rugby league, because their coach didn’t want them opening old wounds and he wanted them to find other things to bond over.The players were able to get on with it and the rest was history.The year 1995 was when the Bulldogs came good and went on one of the great semi-final runs of all time, going on to win the premiership.A NOTE ABOUT RELEVANT ADVERTISING: We collect information about the content (including ads) you use across this site and use it to make both advertising and content more relevant to you on our network and other sites. Latest. The run through was quite staggering,” Hughes said.“We pretty much had the same team week in, week out from pretty much halfway through the year to the finals.“It’s one of our greatest eras because of the romance of it and I’d like to think it was one of the most important turning points in the club’s history.”Sadly, though, Hughes doubts the Bulldogs can even hold a major 40-year reunion in 2020 amid the coronavirus crisis.“It’s a bit hard to put a group of people, beyond two, together at present,” he said.But if it was a two-man reunion, the first players invited would be Greg Brentnall and Steve Gearin, the orchestrators and executioners of possibly the most memorable try in grand final history.Few league diehards over the age of 45 will ever forget Gearin - eyes on the prize for some 20 metres on the fly - reeling in Brentnall’s towering bomb to clinch the title, prompting unbridled joy from mild-mannered coach Ted Glossop on the sidelines.Forty years on, Hughes hails Glossop’s cool and calm as another key to the Bulldogs’ success.“His biggest attribute was he recognised what we could do and he used to give us just plenty of confidence to let us do what we wanted to do,” Hughes said.And they did it while all working day jobs and training just twice a week.

Club Sites Grand Final - Sunday 27th September 1998.
Match Replays. The Bulldogs returned to finals contention in 2003; however, they fell one step short of yet another Grand Final after losing to the Roosters 28–18 in the Preliminary Final. Bulldogs skipper George Peponis is carried off the Sydney Cricket Ground after the 1980 Grand Final win over the Roosters. This is also known as Online Behavioural Advertising. They were a bunch of truck drivers, sales reps, school teachers and plumbers captained by a GP that immortalised themselves in rugby league folklore.They were famously and forever dubbed “The Entertainers” and Canterbury’s 1980 grand final-winning skipper, Dr George Peponis, can barely believe it’s been 40 years since the Bulldogs’ unforgettable grand final triumph over the Roosters, then humbly known as Eastern Suburbs.“I went home after the game for a couple of hours just to unwind - mum and dad lived just around the corner from Belmore Oval,” Peponis recalled.“When I went to the Belmore Leagues Club later for the celebrations I couldn’t get in through the front door there were that many people there.“They actually lifted me up in the air and handed me all the way up the stair case to the auditorium.The crowd-surfing captain rightfully cherishes being part of one of the most special teams in ARL/NRL history.Fans will surely never again see half a run-on team made up of brothers play together, let alone win a competition like the Bulldogs did with Chris, Peter and the great Steve Mortimer and Mark, Garry and Graeme Hughes.Brotherhood apart, the Bulldogs enjoyed the luxury of a team overflowing with once-in-a-generation talents.“We used to love nothing more at training than playing touch football,” Graeme Hughes said.He was a gifted sporting allrounder who also played first-class cricket for NSW as well representing his state in rugby league before becoming one of the country’s most respected sports broadcasters.“When you go on top of the six brothers, you look at the team and the predominance of the guys in the team played a hell of a lot of their football at five-eighth,” he said.“Steve Gearin played some footy at five-eighth, Chris Anderson was a running fullback and centre out on the wing, Steve Folkes played at five-eighth in junior rugby league.“My brother Mark was a five-eighth, Garry was a five-eighth, Chris Mortimer ... there were at least seven or eight five-eighths who grew up all their lives playing rugby league wearing No.6.” But despite their dominant 18-4 grand final win over the Roosters, Canterbury’s premiership-winning season of 1980 was not without challenges.Homeless for the first half of the season while Belmore’s new grandstand was being built, the Dogs were running eighth at the halfway point of the 12-team competition before winning 13 of their last 15 games to snatch the title.“It was absolutely utterly unbelievable.
