Fixtures

In 2021, The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, were no friend to winning. The team consisting of Josh Jackson, Nick Meaney, Jake Averillo, and many others only were able to capture 3 wins. These 3 wins consisting of an Anzac round 18-12 upset against The Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, A 28-6 surprise win against the Saint George Illawarra Dragons at Accor stadium, and a 38-0 farewell win in round 25 to Will Hopoate, a club favourite and Nick Meaney, a superkid. This game seemed to show a light of hope for the young squad.
