Rumour Bulldogs closing in on Cam Cirald

[CaptainJackson]

Potter was hesitant to comment about his future publicly in the past so with him now declaring he would like to be coach or stay on at the club I'd say the club has definitely made a decision. Hopefully he stays on as an assistant or takes over reserve grade.

My concern is, it's obvious he has the respect of the players now (given how they've performed under him).

If we bring in Ciraldo as head coach and Potter as assistant, how is that going to play out with the players. Not saying it can't work but it is a concern that may cause a question of authority.

You have to love Gus, always throwing a dummy to the dummies ( the media ).
He basically said " Ciraldo can't go to a club to rebuild a roster " I am sure he didn't mean us, our roster is almost built, he could've been referring to the Tigpies who at the time had made him a massive 5 years offer.
From what I know the THREE MUSKETEERS JK Gus & Warbo wanted the club to be in best order to help entice the best possible coach and for the right reason !!!

gus also warned baz to stay away from our club when baz signed. this is literally baz 2.0 im shitting it

 

[bradyk]

No he wasnt lol, Baz wasnt wanted by every club hahahah, literally about 4/5 clubs want Ciraldo. We cant have the mentality that all the assistants at the best club (by far) in the comp are shit and not a good first grade coach, Baz was awful at Manly, never showed any promise, clubs are offering Ciraldo 5 year deals, this is a different situation

At the time we signed Baz he was rated higher than Ciraldo (my OG point, everything you've said is after the fact, e.g. Irrelevant). No one knew or wanted Ciraldo back then. That's fact.

That was because of the Andersons, now that they're gone, Gus doesn't have a problem,

Let's be frank here, who in their right mind advise any young coach to come to us, a club in chaos and turmoil controlled by a bunch of stooges to say the least.

Gus talking up Asst Coaches .saying who's gonna be the great assistant to help him at his new club.

Who's gonna be the Cameron Ciraldo for Cameron Ciraldo. Who's gonna be the Craig Fitzgibbon for Robinson.

How about wise head Asst Mick Potter AND helpful input handling the media, recruitment etc shielding from Phil Gould

 

[CroydonDog]

A lot of fans see another rookie as a big risk, considering the perceived failures of Pay and Barrett.

Only difference i see here is that he seems to be sought after, so people in the know must rate him (unless he just has an awesome manager!).

I guess we all are just sick of not winning anything.

 

[Bazildog]

Nobody on here actually knows.

#sackciraldo?

 

[transporter]

Dymock would make a good assistant

 

[Doggy71]

Gus is much smarter than the average bear,I'm sure he has the clubs best interests at heart and will secure the best possible coach no matter who it is.We all know Gus is the master when it comes to setting smoke screens.

It's never too early for the inevitable

West tigers fans are worse than I thought. [emoji1787][emoji1787]View attachment 57333

Undercover bulldogs fan did this hahaha

If Gus thinks Ciraldo is our man then Ciraldo is our man. Gus imo hasn’t put a foot wrong since returning to the club.

 

[gbrussell]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but I think Ciraldo has family links at the Bulldogs. I seem to recall there was an offical or perhaps support staff named Fred Ceraldo, back about 30 or so years ago. Anyone know of him.

Im sure Fred is still at the club and I remember hearing there is no relation between them anyway

 

[Alan79]

What happened to Fittler being our coach? Lol

So far the speculation has been that Flanagan will be joining, last week we were getting Arthur, Fittler was almost a certainty and now it's Ciraldo. I think that pretty much completes our coaching and staff roster with a couple of spares to slot into lower grade roles.

Arthur was shopped to us so he was never an option
Fitler was a David Holland special so that was never happening
Flanno was the mail when Baz was first sacked but then that died down when he started publicly begging for the job
Ciraldo seems to be the only legit mail we have had regarding the coach

 

[Son Of Dogzilla]

The tigers forum is so sad. Its just their fans roasting their shit hole of a club.

I thought that’s what the kennel was too

Fred is not dead...Yes he is still there

Penrith set up all their assistants to sabotage other clubs when they move on,any club with those same players would be successful it’s a no brainer.
I still prefer potter ,we all new also furner was part of Barrett’s dud brigade,I’m sure we can save money by retaining potter as coach.
Seriously what has ciraldo done to show he can coach?
