History of the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs
Ryan's era at Canterbury ended after the 1987 season when he left the club on bad terms after the Bulldogs narrowly missed the semi-finals for the first time since 1982 – despite Ryan’s success from 1984 until 1986. He is the only Canterbury coach to win two Premierships and when the Bulldogs named their greatest side in 2004, no coach was named, which many believe should have been Ryan. Others believed that Ryan was simply a professional coach rather than a “true” Bulldog and the choice of Moore as Manager of the greatest ever side was more appropriate.
