News Cameron Ciraldo set to trigger four-club bidding war as Panthers get-out clause revealed

[TAS]

After tonight we don't want anything Penrith related

Surely last night confirms that we don’t want anything Fittler related either.

No new news there

Theories, let's have another.........Bellamy is supposedly, maybe, possibly on his last year in 2023 as a full time coach. Which means Melbourne needs a coach for 2024 and none of the assistants in Kearney (already failed), Brentnall (too inexperienced) or Aaron Bellamy (nepotism) is likely to get the gig, IMHO. Which means Ciraldo is in with a shot, or maybe he just THINKS he is in with a shot, or maybe Bellamy has given him the wink wink nudge nudge. The shear possibility of getting the Melbourne coaching role is enough of an attraction for Ciraldo to sit on his hands for another year.

He is getting paid very well at Penrith, doesn't need the extra money. It's a pretty easy decision really, the possibility of coaching Melbourne in 2024 or in 2023 the job of coaching the Tigers. No brainer really.

Not a ciraldo fan boy. But he is a defensive coach there, and panthers do play a solid form a defence. You'd never pick Cleary, Luai, To'o, Crichton etc as elite defenders, but as a team they are very difficult to crack. Barrett was supposed to be the one to "unlock" panthers attack but they lost a grand final because they chocked in the first half before coming back strong.

There might not be much between Ciraldo or Barrett. But one thing is for sure he (Ciraldo) has been in the panthers system for the best part of a decade and Gus had a lot to do with his development. And its not just as a football brain but in business, in people management etc. He might be a bigger flop then Barrett (that will be hard to imagine) but one thing that is sure, he has been developed to a level that most assistance would not have experienced. That wont make you a great coach, but it certainly doesnt hurt your chances.

Great post mate, keep this sort of rational thinking up and you’ll cop a ban though

Mate we can trust Gus to make the right decisions, firstly we have to make sure our club is an attractive proposition for top players and coaches alike !
Like you said Ciraldo is the Panthers defence coach, great defence is where the great attack starts !
Maybe a Ciraldo and Potter combo is not a bad idea.

This seems the most logical to hand the torch down to a Storm great
