Good, bad and ugly from Dogs’ 2023 disaster and the ‘emergency’ move they must make
Ciraldo conceded some players aren’t happy with his approach to training, but the rookie coach refused to apologise for demanding excellence.
“We are trying to drive standards. We want to have winning performance standards and a lot of that is around individual responsibilities. Gould said he was glad Ciraldo’s standards are now public knowledge “because at times when you watch us play you would wonder whether or not we did .”“Every group goes through times where your standards are challenged and ours are being challenged at certain times but yeah, we are trying to create winning standards here,” Gould said.“It’s f**king soft as s**t,” Mason said.
NRL legend Gorden Tallis went as far as to say the players’ revolt against Ciraldo meant he wasn’t training them hard enough. Preston is future club captain, while mid-season recruits Toby Sexton and Liam Knight will be joined at the club by Crichton, Bronson Xerri, Blake Taaffe and Jaeman Salmon in 2024.
“They could have gone for the quick fix but they’ve elected not to do that for the betterment of the football club as a whole which I think is very commendable.”Graham believes if Canterbury can get the rub of the green next year then they could push for a top-eight berth.
