The 7 Part series follows the story of the 2025 Wests Bulldogs Rugby Union Mens Premier Grade squad as they attempt to win the 2025 QPR Hospital Cup after 2 years of heartbreaking losses in the QPR Grand Final. Although the series focuses primarily on the 2025 Mens Prem Grade Squad each episode will also highlight the history of the club and promote elements of the club that make up a modern day rugby union (Colts Program, Premier Grade Women’s, Juniors Program and Sponsors stories ).
