Ciraldo and the Club have been torched this week, it’ll be interesting to see how the players react within the game today…. On paper, we are still well behind the quality of the Titans, but effort and intensity is a personal and team thing, we will know how much the 17 picked care about the coach in particular.
The scoreboard doesn’t matter, it’s not about the win or loss today, it’s about the intensity and effort they display, that’s todays measure…. Obviously a win is the goal but not the measurement.
If we show nothing out there…. He’s lost the dressing room badly. If those group of men show a positive reaction, he’s still got their respect.
Either way, a new season is another clean slate, but we will need to show some advancement in 2024. To be clear, I’m not expecting finals, but I am expecting improved on field performances particularly around defence with good momentum going into 2025.
