The longer term contract is just a guarantee hed get bigger pay out if things dont work out. People been saying he has big potential and the club is a big risk for a coach. Imo its fair to have that guarantee given the equation.
True. We should cross that bridge if and when we get to it.For me it makes the club look weak in negotiations. We had to offer a rookie coach a 5 year deal where 3 years would have been plenty.
The contract works in Ciraldo’s advantage because he gets paid out if he doesn’t see it out, we can spend our money on better things imo. I don’t remember a coach seeing out their contract under Gus at Penrith.
Anyway I’m hoping he works out as a genuine long term coach for us and we don’t need to worry but after so many disappointments I’ll just see how things go over the next few years.
Makes sense to lock Burton in for 5, the more quality we put around him, the better and more consistent he will perform. Locking a coach in for 5 gives stability and will attract/retain players. I reckon Ciraldo is exactly what we need.Player wise may be stupid. But who cares about a coaches contract? Well unless you sign sticky dicky for 10 years.
Plus we are loaded and coaches aren't counted in the cap so what's the actual problem?
PS don't expect anything under a 5 year contract for Bomber. Club is pushing hard for 5 years.
Just nuts.View attachment 58094

Staff cap only matters how much we are paying him. If it doesn't work out, we move onto the next one. I have faith that Gus will put all the pieces around Ciraldo to be a success.There's a staff cap now though?
There's no cutting slack next year. We have to be competing for the 8. If we're bottom 4 and not competing for the 8 until the end of the season there will be massive pressure on him.Just nuts.
Another season of mediocrity again next year. An L Plate coach with huge raps - we’ve seen this before.
I can see it now - next year will be garbage and everybody will be cutting him slack - “it’s not his squad”, “let him build his squad”, “he needs time”…
Has he even taken lower grades to finals? I certainly hope so?? What’s his pedigree other than being assistant to Cleary during a successful patch for Penrith?
We need an experienced coach with a track record of success at this level.
When have we seen this before and who was the better option?Just nuts.

We should be playing finals next season, and pushing top 4 the following season. Sacked if not.Staff cap only matters how much we are paying him. If it doesn't work out, we move onto the next one. I have faith that Gus will put all the pieces around Ciraldo to be a success.
We should be top 8 next year, wevsre a prop and a half short of a squad to push for 4th regardless of coachWe should be playing finals next season, and pushing top 4 the following season. Sacked if not.
We should be top 8 this season if not for barrettWe should be top 8 next year, wevsre a prop and a half short of a squad to push for 4th regardless of coach

The sky is falling!Just nuts.

Avo is sure hoping it's BS lolI’m 99.9% sure the chriton thing is pure bs and no chance
It's sweet having people on here with good sources... Has made the pain over the years somewhat bearable.@Bulldogsteve is on the money.
Smug ***** the lot of them, can't wait until they miss the 8 again tbh.I don't care, I'm fucking sick of Penrith. Fuck Penrith.
At many other clubs - too many to mention, and our own.When have we seen this before and who was the better option?
