Dudman, a local Cronulla junior, made his first-grade debut for the Sharks in 1978. Playing as a lock, he had established a place in the team before suffering a knee injury which ruled him out of contention for the finals and ultimately a grand final.[2] He made only 13 more first-grade appearances over the next three seasons and was then signed by Canberra for the club's inaugural NSWRFL season in 1982.[3]

At the Raiders he played his early first-grade games off the bench, before breaking into the starting side as a second rower.[4] He featured in a total of 20 NSWRFL games for the Raiders over two seasons.[1]
