Why Gould turned off CCTV to land Ciraldo | Danny_Weidler
Cameron Ciraldo held at least 10 clandestine meetings with Bulldogs boss Phil Gould at western Sydney hotels, which were so secretive that CCTV cameras were switched off temporarily when the prospective coach entered the building.
Now the deal with the Bulldogs has been done, we have learnt that Ciraldo didn’t just set foot in Dogs HQ once, he was actually there twice – late in the evening. He had a peaceful tour of Des Hasler’s now decade-old gym and wrestling centre, which are next to the train tracks at the back of Belmore, under the cover of darkness and away from prying eyes.The key to the Canterbury deal was Gould’s long-term relationship with Ciraldo.
In the end, the deal was finalised only last weekend, and it could prove to be one of the best in the club’s recent history.Tim Mannah is one of the good guys of the NRL, and he has been let down badly by the suits at Moore Park. Benji Marshall is having an impact at Wests Tigers already as he gathers a team around him that he will want as head coach.
