Canterbury enjoyed a dream run into the finals for the first time in eight years last season as Cameron Ciraldo spearheaded a revival at Belmore.
The Bulldogs were sparked by the arrival of Stephen Crichton with the three-time premiership winner guiding the club back into the title picture.
The Dogs continued to build their roster in the off-season and, in fact, during the campaign as well as they have established themselves as a genuine premiership threat.
The Sporting News takes a look at Canterbury's 2025 NRL draw below.
