Tonight Canterbury-Bankstown return to their spiritual home for a clash with the defending premiers North Queensland in what shapes as an absolute blockbuster.

The Bulldogs don’t get many games at the grand old ground but that doesn’t stop old Canterbury fans from remembering all the great matches and memories shared at the venue.

But as we lead in to this big Thursday night game that will help define the final makeup of the top eight, we look back at some of the not so memorable moments and the games people would rather forget.
