Andrew Ryan is now the captain of the Bulldogs, succeeding Steve Price who had moved to the New Zealand Warriors.

- games I and II of the 2004 State of Origin series
- games I, II and III of the 2005 State of Origin series
- games I and II of the 2006 State of Origin series
- games I, II and III of the 2007 State of Origin series
