Cameron Ciraldo

The existing venue has deteriorated significantly, with reports of a foul smell and water leaking through roofs in change rooms.

culminating in an embarrassing incident when Canterbury NRL coach Cameron Ciraldo suffered a gashed hand after a window shattered in one of the coach's boxes.

Mr Barr said he wanted Bruce to be a destination where people can study, work, live and connect, supported by great public spaces and a great sense of community.

If we want to attract and retain essential workers...

That's why the club went in that direction.

But, you know, you look at the Bulldogs now with Cam Ciraldo and the head of football, Gus Gould, there's multiple people in charge.

Yeah, well, multiple people with a say of the running, and there's a bit of a general run of the club, and then the day-to-day operations, the whole club philosophy.

But most, most clubs would operate with a strong head of football.

Well, final one for me.

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs still on the hunt for their new coach after sacking Cameron Ciraldo last week.

Wow.

The club falling to 15th.

Yeah.

We predicted Dragons to finish at the bottom, although that was probably pretty obvious.

You predicted Cameron Ciraldo to lose his job.

He's still got it, but he might be hanging on by a thread.

Just for fun, bro.

And he made a great point that I'm now gonna regurgitate here, is that Cameron Ciraldo has, for m- his tenure at the Dogs, sort of...

He's sort of skipped a lot of criticism.

His win rate's 48%.

I, I still think they're lacking a lot, and it's become this, it...

After, and look, we, we are gonna talk about the Dogs, but Cam Ciraldo's second year, uh, everybody thinks that that's normal now.

You get one year to- To, to fix things up, lay your foundations, install your philosophies, and in the second year, you know, y- y- you've gotta be, you've gotta be playing finals.

Mm.

Like I think if they're adamant that Galvin's gonna be their seven, which it-

But what's, what's bizarre, so, so Ciraldo got asked after the game, he got asked, um, you know, "Galvin's been really good.

He's been one of your best." You know, Crita's in with a...

You know, will he...

Essentially he got asked, "Will he be the half next year?" And Ciraldo said, "Pretty much, like we'll review the year and, and then make a decision off there." Like I feel like at most clubs, if you asked the s- the, the head coach, "Who is gonna be your seven and your six next year?" They would give you a...

They'd be like, "These two."

Mm.

So the balance of that top 30 squad and then the pathways all below it, that's all Augustus.

In terms of the decisions that are being made around the key positions, uh, whether that's entirely Cameron Ciraldo, whether he bounces things off Gus as well, I'm not inside the wall, so I'm not sure.

Do you know, Darc, or?

Guts, Cam runs the ship.

Yeah.

So he's obviously a massive sounding board, and will have his fingers on, on the roster and stuff.

But at the end of the day, you know, it's Cameron Ciraldo's team.

Yep.

I just think they, they just prefer him on, on the wing and that's what ...

I mean, Coach Ciraldo, that's his prerogative.

Um, but he's had it.

He needs a, needs a good break.
