BULLDOGS GET THEIR MAN
Cameron Ciraldo is expected to be announced soon as the Canterbury Bulldogs coach.
However, the record of Penrith’s assistant coaches in the NRL is not great.
The last two have been Trent Barrett and Garth Brennan.
Barrett achieved only a 14 per cent win record at Canterbury.
Brennan went to the Titans and achieved only a 30 per cent win record.
Barrett lasted 34 games at the Bulldogs, Brennan 40 games on the Gold Coast.
It just goes to show that success is hardly guaranteed just because you have come from a strong system like that at the Panthers.
At the Bulldogs there aren’t seven or eight Origin players.
At Belmore the junior pathways are nothing like what Penrith has.
Still there is a reason why Ciraldo has been the game’s most wanted coach.
He has had the best apprenticeship and has been patient waiting for the right opportunity.
Just like Craig Fitzgibbon who is doing such a wonderful job at the Cronulla Sharks.

BULLDOGS RECRUITMENT DRIVE CONTINUES
The impressive recruitment at the Canterbury Bulldogs continues with the addition of giant Cronulla Sharks and Newtown Jets front-rower Frank ‘The Tank’ Pele.
The 21-year-old has played only one NRL game for Cronulla but has a cult following.
He weighs more than 120kg and is an absolute powerhouse.
The one thing he lacks is fitness and an engine to play minutes which is something the Bulldogs will be working on.
Gus Gould has also signed impressive Manly Sea Eagles forward Andrew Davey for the next two years.
