As the Bulldogs and Raiders gear up for a crucial match in Canberra, the nostalgic vibe harkens back to their 1994 grand final encounter.
The Raiders, captained by Mal Meninga, were in pursuit of their third title within six years, following victories in 1989 and 1990.
The Bulldogs, on the other hand, had dominated the 1980s with four premierships, with their last victory in 1988 over Balmain, led by Peter Tunks.
