Trent Barrett has doubled-down on his commitment to the Bulldogs by acquiring the final member of his NRL coaching staff.
Despite suggestions by Phil Gould that he should reconsider his decision to take over Canterbury given the administration drama surrounding the club, Barrett has secured current Cronulla assistant coach Craig Sandercock as his key offsider at the Bulldogs on a three-year deal.

As has been widely reported, Newcastle assistant coach David Furner is also expected to link with Barrett and Sandercock at Belmore.

Furner had been in the running for the St George-Illawarra coaching position - a formal pitch which Barrett supported.


But with his family remaining in Sydney during his current assistant role at Newcastle, Furner is expected to make his decision to link with Canterbury formal in the coming days.

Sanderock and Barrett have a relationship having spent time together at Manly.

The current defensive coach at the Sharks under head coach John Morris, Sanderock is likely to switch his focus to attack at Canterbury.

Aside from his stints with Manly and Cronulla, Sandercock has also coached at Newcastle, the Wests Tigers and with Hull KR in the English Super League.

So to fix our attack issues we have gotten the Sharks defensive coach... makes sense.

Better than what we've had for years. The bit about him focusing on the attack is just a load of shit, the journo wont have that type of intel. Im sure he will focus on the defense and with Barrett being attack minded, they should compliment each other perfectly.

TB as the head coach will provide the direction and overall strategy on our formation, attack, defence etc. The assistant coaches are there to implement his plans. They are there to do the leg work. Gordon Ramsay doesn't cook in his restaurants, he creates the dishes, instructs his sous chefs and they in turn mentor and supervise the junior chefs who cook the dishes daily. However since our halves are so crap I would say TB would take a hands on role in coaching them to be NRL standard in the off season.

We'll at least he'll have a good understanding of defensive structures, strengths and weaknesses when developing our attack.

Gotta be a thick skinned hard bastard when you have been walking around with a name like Sandercock your whole life.

Watched a few vids, seems a tough bloke who isnt afraid to say it... Seen plenty of losses in his life so he should cope well at the dogs. FML.

It’s not always the defence coach’s fault. The squad has to take majority of the blame.

That's not going to slide next year after the shiz Pay just went through. I've always believed the roster isn't good enough.

Hull KR were one of the more capable minnow sides when he was in-charge. Either way he's a vast improvement on Antonelli and others we have had. I'm pleased about the Furner appointment
