About Paul Dunn (rugby league)

Paul Dunn (born 7 August 1963) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1980s and 1990s. A New South Wales State of Origin and Australian international representative forward, he played club football in Sydney for Eastern Suburbs, Canterbury-Bankstown, Parramatta and Penrith. == Background == Dunn was born in the small town of Molong in central-west New South Wales. He later grew up in both Orange and Bathurst. Dunn moved to Sydney at the age of 19, where he played one season with Bondi United. == Professional playing career == In 1983, Dunn began his first-grade career in the NSWRL premiership with Sydney's Eastern Suburbs club, where he played for two years before moving to the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, playing 100 games for the club over five seasons. At the end of the 1986 NSWRL season, he was selected to represent his country on the Kangaroo tour. A major player and staff change at Canterbury prompted a move to the Penrith Panthers in 1991, where Dunn spent two years before moving to the Parramatta Eels. He retired at the end of 1995 before returning for one year to his first club, the newly re-branded Sydney City Roosters. In 1988, Dunn was the recipient of the Clive Churchill Medal for his man-of-the-match performance at prop in the Grand Final-winning Canterbury team.
