Peter Cassillis joined Canterbury in 1973 as a lock forward.

Peter became a regular member of the reserve grade team in 1974 and received the opportunity to play first grade against Western Suburbs as a replacement.

Peter returned in 1979 to become a regular second-row and played in the Grand Final against St George.
After missing the start of the 1980 season, Peter returned to first grade until Graeme Hughes returned from injury.
Thereafter, Peter was a regular member of the reserve grade team and played in the Premiership winning team against Parramatta.
In 1981, Peter started the season as reserve grade captain but returned to first grade when Garry Hughes was unavailable and Steve Folkes was moved to five-eight. Peter became a regular member of the first grade team.
