A media storm has erupted in the NRL world after a prominent media outlet crowned the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs as the greatest team of all time. The controversial claim has drawn fierce backlash from rival clubs and fans, igniting debate across the rugby league community. Critics argue that while the Bulldogs boast a proud history and multiple premierships, the claim overlooks the dominance and legacy of other historic clubs.
The South Sydney Rabbitohs, with a record 21 premierships, blasted the claim as a “slap in the face to tradition,” while the Parramatta Eels, Sydney Roosters, and Melbourne Storm all issued statements challenging the ranking. Roosters supporters cited their sustained success across eras, and Storm fans pointed to their near-unstoppable dominance in the modern era under Craig Bellamy.
Supporters of the Bulldogs, however, point to their gritty culture, strong fan base, and multiple golden eras as justification. Regardless of allegiance, one thing is clear—the title of “greatest of all time” is far from settled. As the debate rages on, fans and legends alike are weighing in, making this one of the most passionate rugby league discussions in recent memory.
