What a fantastic team we had,great memoriesThat 1995 team doesn’t really get the credit it deserves. The Broncos, Raiders and Sea Eagles were in their absolute prime and to knock them over in successive weeks is probably the toughest run a team will ever have to win the comp.

We were a feared and sometimes despised club. Today people feel sorry for us. Speaks volumes.How proude did you feel supporting this club back then?
Today?....hmmmm
We did deserve one win & Super League stuffed us up for 96 & 97.we were up there with those teams during the mid 90’s
93 minor premiers
94 minor premiers and grand final appearance
95 we win it
97 semis
98 grand final appearance
And a special mention to the first game against the dragons which was probably the toughest in wet conditions and to recover from that and beat the three best teams to collect the last ever Winfield cup was just magic. That 95 premiership was the best out of all our premierships.That 1995 team doesn’t really get the credit it deserves.

I watched the game from a motel room in Yalata, near Uluru. Drove all around the Northern Territory with blue and white streamers, and a Bulldogs flag on the FWD. They though I was a local, because the colours were the same as the North Alice football team.How proude did you feel supporting this club back then?
Today?....hmmmm
Yeah that game against the Dragons was a war. I didn’t mention them with the other three because they have been our bitches for close to 40 years now haha.And a special mention to the first game against the dragons which was probably the toughest in wet conditions and to recover from that and beat the three best teams to collect the last ever Winfield cup was just magic.

It was a great win, but I still hold 2004 dear to my heart because it gave fans something to celebrate after the 2002 salary cap issue and the Coffs controversy. The win made all that fade away.And a special mention to the first game against the dragons which was probably the toughest in wet conditions and to recover from that and beat the three best teams to collect the last ever Winfield cup was just magic.
