NRL: There are rumours emerging Bulldogs coach Cameron Ciraldo is losing his influence as Phil Gould makes his presence known at the club.
It’s not the first time there have been reports suggesting Gould and a head coach have had their issues, with Trent Barrett leading Canterbury to a shock win over the Roosters two years ago when Gould supposedly took over a training session that week.
But Ciraldo shot down those rumours, insisting he wouldn’t have left Penrith to join Gould if the pair didn’t get along, with the two working together at the Panthers before the former back-rower was poached to lead the Bulldogs.Cameron Ciraldo says his relationship with Phil Gould is like a father and son amid claims he’s losing power at the Bulldogs.
“Talking to Gus is like talking to your dad. Sometimes he’s got a point and you walk away thinking ‘you made sense there’, but sometimes I disagree. He trusts me with the way that we’re going and what we’re doing. “We’ve got a good relationship, and I wouldn’t have come here if we didn’t. If we’re going to agree on everything, then what’s the point of us being here?The Bulldogs head into the Roosters clash having won just one of their first four matches, but they’ve looked a lot better defensively so far, with their next job trying to find more fluency in attack.
