So we would get in Ciraldo, and hope he gets the players to play like they do under Potter? Makes sense.
Sure we are scoring points but we need to tidy up our defence. We leaked 26 points against the last placed Titans. I’m hoping Ciraldo can strengthen our defence without taking too much away from the attack.

This is why we need Ciraldo

Fitness and defence structures

Potter can’t take us to the promised land
No one can take this roster to a top 4 finish.

Also you don't get fit halfway through a season. That's what the off-season is for.

We just played the second best team in the NRL. People on this site have unrealistic expectations.

Potter has taken over half way during the year. He took over a shambles. Potter cannot be judged without having a preseason with these blokes, though overall Potter has done well as an interim coach

Ciraldo is an assistant who has done and proved sweet fuck all

I would Give potter another year with the recruit’s that are coming, that said Gus was right about potter so I trust he’ll be right about Ciraldo. But no one can deny that Mick has worked a coaching miracle with this side,I really hope he stays as an assistant.

All this Ciraldo talk is carbon copy of all the Barrett wankfest before his signing

The fact is that Ciraldo is unproven as a NRL head coach and we have already had 2 unptovens in the last 5 years

Gus needs to take off his black, white and green goggles and smell the roses across the board

Im not sold on either to have us playing consistent top 4.
But I dont think their is an argument for why Ciraldo is better than Potter for all the reasons that have been done to death.
Lets just roll with the rest of the season because the way I see it is we have shown improvement.
Today was always going to be a tough game.
Ill trust the Club to choose the coach and announce it when they're good and ready.

Roosters and also Cowboys round 1. Had a good crack just lost some games we should have won under previous coaching.

Potter's quiet and measured approach, his footy smarts and honesty leans me towards him.
I'm a tad biased as I used to watch him play and he was dynamic !

Sir Ciraldo. I am sick of hoping we are going to win. When i saw our defense back peddling today i knew we would lose.

It's a risk either way, let's face it. One thing that's been suggested by a few that I hope we don't do is giving Potter 1 more year. You either commit fully to him or not at all.
The Barrett experiment was so bad that I think it's tarnished any thinking of bringing in a young coach but seeing what Fitzgibbon and Payten are doing gives me hope. I'd feel a lot better about Ciraldo as well if an experienced head like Maquire (as its been rumoured) comes in.
Whatever the case, focus this offseason needs to be on fitness and defense (particularly first contact). Attack is absolutely firing and looks fantastic so we dont need to re-invent the wheel there.

Agree mate. Ciraldo to turn us into a D machine and assistants like Potter for attack and James Graham/Mason to instil Bulldog belief.
