BULLDOGS halfback Kris Keating will play in the biggest game of his career this Sunday when he lines up in the NRL grand final.
Keating's Canterbury side will face the Melbourne Storm in the season decider, leaving him 80 minutes away from a premiership.
It has been a remarkable turnaround for the Cecil Hills footballer after he languished in the NSW Cup during the first four rounds of the season.
But with injury ruling first-string halfback Trent Hodkinson out for the season, Keating has been able to cement a starting spot and has been pivotal to the Bulldogs' success.
Even great Andrew Johns is impressed.
"If someone said at the start of the year that Kris Keating would be a grand final half you'd laugh at them," Johns said after the Bulldogs' win over Souths.
"No one talks about him much but he's doing his job really, really well."
