I cant defend CC at all today but im sick of people just blaming him, how about them absolute losers on the pitch take some blame. Okunbor, Perham, TPJ, RFM, Rajab, not good enough, King, really in terrible form. Kiraz, burto, mahoney, fox, literally every single one of them. The first few ive mentioned above are shocking every single week, I never want to see okunbor or perham especially play again, rajab defensively also, disgraceful. Sick of them and CC isnt blameless, however i did see something at the start of the season so im willing to give him til next season when we have players available, if we dont perform then, he can go. Some of these players have been here for years, why on earth did this club defend okunbor over that school drama when hes honestly a disgraceful player, we then let CHN go who at the time was one of our better players. Years later okunbor is still costing us. Sums us up.

Ciraldo showed signs early but something has happened in the last few weeks coz the players just switched off.

Nobody should get picked next week, play the reggie team and make the whole team earn their spot back. Unprecedented, but might work

He’s so out of his depth but…

Gus appointed him. It was a crazy appointment. He’s getting paid a princely sum also.

Khoury and Warburton rubber stamped it and have continued to let Gus run rampant with power.

There’s 3 names there who I’d place blame on before getting to coach clueless Ciraldo.

Its hard to tell when its a rookie coach how they will go. Some go well. Apparently hes an astute assistant coach. But hes green in the top job and it shows.

Yeah.. hate this sort of opinion but it’s correct. Ciraldo is a deer in the headlight at the moment and Gus needs to accept his role in it.

He picks the team. Why on earth is he playing Perham at fullback & Okunbor starting in the forwards? That is on him & no one else.
Ive literally said above he isnt blameless but blaming him only when these players have been shite for years is stupidity

It's obviously not all on the coach but he plays a major role in what's happening. Warrior were predicted to finish below us based on roster and they have a rookie coach who was rated worse than Crialdo (actually barely rated at all). Dolphin another e.g. We had the option to sign an experienced quality coach in Shane Flanagan and we bottled it. The best thing about S. Flanagan is he's ruthless and doesn't try to be friends with players, e.g. Panther assistant coaches.

The Warriors are in the top 8 with a rookie coach.
To be fair he has a much superior team to play with. But also may be a better coach

He doesn't have a top 8 roster. Also they had the same team last year & were shit. He made them much better.

Yeh, but SJ has made all the difference since returning and they have a very good forward pack, a good hooker and halves, decent fullback. A lot closer to a good side than we are. We are closer to tigers in level.

Warriors bought a halfback, fullback and reinforced their forward pack that was already better than ours. We haven't recruited shit when it comes to key positions. No halfback, no fullback, no props, no lock, etc.
