# 2022 Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs season

The 2022 Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs season was the 88th in the club's history. They competed in the National Rugby League's 2022 Telstra Premiership. Trent Barrett was head coach of the team for the first 10 rounds, before resigning following their 16–6 loss to the Newcastle Knights.

## Fixtures

The club started 2022 with two pre-season trial matches against the Newcastle Knights (16–16 draw) and the Cronulla Sutherland Sharks (6–30 loss) in February before kicking off the regular season away to the North Queensland Cowboys in round one. On 13 June, they recorded their most impressive win in recent history beating the Parramatta Eels with Josh Addo-Carr scoring his first hat-trick of tries for the club.
