The Bulldogs (formerly Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs) are a professional rugby league club in the National Rugby League (NRL), the premier rugby league football competition in Australia.

Based in Belmore, a suburb of Sydney, the Bulldogs in 1935 were admitted to the New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL) competition, a predecessor of the current NRL competition.

The Bulldogs won their first premiership in just their fourth season (1938). At the time it made them the quickest club (barring the founding clubs) to win a premiership after admission to the competition, a record which was only recently beaten in 1999 by the Melbourne Storm. They won a second premiership in 1942 but then had to wait another 38 years before breaking through for a third title in 1980. During the 80s, the Bulldogs were a dominant force in the competition appearing in five Grand Finals, winning four of them. In the 90s they featured in the 1995 and 1998 Grand Finals, winning the former. Their most recent success was in 2004 when they beat the Sydney Roosters 16 - 13. The tryscorers were Hazem El Masri and Matt Utai, and the Clive Churchill Medal winner was Willie Mason.


We're Bulldogs: is the current team song for the Bulldogs Rugby League Football Club

A similar track was penned by the club in 2006 but has not become widely accepted as a new club song.

[edit] We're Bulldogs

That’s why we’re Bulldogs.
We play like Bulldogs.

It comes from deep inside.
A kind of family pride.
It's true as day is long.
It's brave, it's tough, it's strong.
Its history that makes.
That character it takes.
It’s power, guts and guile.
A dogged football style.

CHORUS:
That’s why we’re Bulldogs.
We play like Bulldogs.
No fear we’re Bulldogs.
We’ll stay like Bulldogs.

It’s victories we’ve won.
And hard yards we have run.
Attack that can inspire.
Defence that’s full of fire.
A character that shows.
Despite the highs and lows.
Its courage that you need.
To join this special breed, yeah.



[edit] We are the Mighty Bulldogs (80's)

We are the mighty Bulldogs.
The Canterbury breed.
We play it hard.
We play it tough.
We're the greatest in the league.

CHORUS:.
We've got a mighty pack of forwards.
And a line of leading backs.
When that whistle blows.
You all will know.
As we leave them in our tracks.

So come on mighty Bulldogs.
Lets show them how its done.
With our power, speed.
The Bulldog breed.
Will keep them on the run.

[edit] Canterbury are the Greatest (70's)

CHORUS:
Canterbury is the greatest,
We're the greatest of them all,
Canterbury is the greatest
We are always on the ball

We play it hard,
We play it tough
We never know when
We've had enough
We're always there
When the goings rough
That is Canterbury

CHORUS:
Canterbury is the greatest,
We're the greatest of them all,
Canterbury is the greatest
We are always on the ball

We’re Blue and White,
Yeh that’s our style
When we lose we wear a smile
If you wanna know we’re here to stay,
Come along and see us play

CHORUS x 3:
Canterbury is the greatest,
We're the greatest of them all,
Canterbury is the greatest
We are always on the ball
