News Dogs go to great lengths to support star in hour of need

[beastwood89]

The Bulldogs are rallying around new recruit Viliame Kikau after his father, Ratu, passed away last week. They know how close the pair were and, in a sign of respect, coach Cameron Ciraldo flew to Fiji to attend the funeral. It is an indication of what Kikau means to his new club and also shows what kind of person Ciraldo is.

“We felt it was important our club was represented to support Viliame and his family,” Bulldogs general manager Phil Gould said. “Cameron was the obvious onetosend. He’s had a very close relationship with Viliame for many years. Cameron jumped atthe opportunity.

What a lovely gesture from the club. I suspect CC will be a coach that the players really want to play for, and be successful with.

Even more awesome is him wearing the traditional Fijian sulu.

Shows how close Ciraldo and Kikau are and how much he cares about his players.

Who said we’re no longer the family club?
Great gesture that can only strengthen ties.

The club rallied around Robbo and they do rally around their own, the football community in general does well with supporting players in need from what I’ve seen/heard… it’s one of the best communities going around in that regard.

Yes mate it’s a very nice gesture from our club this young man will really appreciate the support during a difficult time in his life.
Having close friends and family nearby can make a big difference.

Great to read this, in Kikky's time of mourning and need he needs his new extended family to rally around him.

Kyle White was a hard hitting mofo, Pretty sure he put a hit on Dean Lance at Belmore and we could hear it from the other end of the field.

Profound. At least he knows the club care, particularly after the debacle that followed him signing with the Dogs
