Total Premierships:
Dragons 16
Bulldogs 8

In their history summary, the official Bulldogs website glosses over this information. They tend to head straight to 1938 and 1942; the club’s first premiership wins. The site then fast forwards to 1967. What happened in between? Well nothing really… Canterbury failed to win another premiership until 1980. It was a drought of some 38 years, no doubt when Sutherland Shire local Juan Pharkall was residing in Belmore.

In an effort to stem the flow of failure, the Canterbury club decided to re-invent themselves. Their nickname, ‘The Berries’, was considered too soft… it took them 50 years to work this out. The Canterbury-Bankstown name was long gone and moves were afoot to wipe away the Canterbury name forever.

Super Duper League
With the coming of Super League, and Canterbury’s subsequent fall from grace, we enter a bleak period of rugby league history which many Bulldogs supporters are not too keen to discuss.

During the prevailing winds of greed and overindulgence, the Bulldogs did their bit to split the game in two. While many clubs indulged themselves, the events of the mid-1990s would ultimately dump Canterbury into the deepest mire of all.

In 2002, the Bulldogs were caught rorting the cap. They ripped off the ‘level playing field’ by at least $1million and essentially, they were cheating. Investigations concluded that the Bulldogs were rotten to the core. The saga cost Canterbury 37 competition points, and delivered them the wooden spoon for 2002.

At the heart of this was the infamous Oasis project, a showcase development in Liverpool. It was revealed the club was using the $800million project to illegally pay players outside the NRL's $3.25million cap. At first, the Bulldogs were in denial, they hid behind a web of deceit and dug themselves in deeper. Eventually, embarrassed Bulldogs CEO Bob Hagan resigned and publicly admitted that the club had been over the cap for years.

In fessing up about the undeclared player payments, Bob said, “It's a long, long process and we've tried since Super League days to get our salary cap in order.”

Since Super League? That was in 1997. This begs the question: how much long, long, longer would this ‘process’ had gone on if they didn’t get caught?
