Gus sticks up for Ciraldo after Bulldogs bloodbath | Wide World of Sports 

Pity not all coaches have a friend working on wwos to stick up for them.

Gas Gould the hot air machine.

Real fans don't boo their team. Heads up doggies. Looking forward to a bright future.

What a joke. Gould such a hypocrite. He tears into other clubs and coached for awe full performances. But dogs paying him so coach and players all doing a great job

Gus is a good judge of coaches. Firing Cleary for Griffin was a masterstroke.

Gus whines about every team except for his this is too good 😂

As the great Jack Gibson said “ I don’t have a five year plan. I plan to win our next game.”

the coach and the players have done and outstanding Job? come on Gus, you cant spin this one,

Look at the broncos, when walters came in for his first year it was a mess. Second year they made finals and maintained their position for a while but incredibly got knocked out of the entire top 8 and *just* missed out on finals. Now this year we’ve only ever seen them in the top 3 as a strong, threatening side. You’re not gonna turn around a bottom-level club within your first year of coaching.

Sorry I just don't "get" how Doggies got belted by a Knights side who have hardly set the comp on fire for years and Gus says the coach is doing an "outstanding" job. Dogs have lacked the grit to stay in the fight in many games this season which reflects on coach and the staff at Doggies.They actually looked far more committed under Potter after Barrett was "let go" by Gus. Gus says you can't go out and "buy " your way out of the cellar yet for me that is exactly what he is trying to do. Without being a smart arse the Warriors finished below Dogs last year and have had a lot of injuries but have got their "culture" right with far more commitment than in previous years leading to better results yet one never hears Gus mention "culture" in relation to Dogs.

Trust the process and Gus's 20 year plan

Support your club through thick and thin. Fair-weather fans love to whinge. Their behaviour is shameful. The boys on the field have been disappointing but they are very young. Lift them up and actually support them and their families. Booing your team is a weak and stupid thing to do. Anyone caught burning the colours should be banned from the club and have their membership suspended or cancelled!

I watched this game and it seemed the players were coached by different coach as they all did their own stuff and no cohesion at all.

Don't think for one moment that Phil Gould won't turn on Ciraldo . If it keeps happening this time next year he will be gone . Unfortunately Phil has a history .

Ah she’ll be right. Our seasons over, and so is my viewing bulldogs games every weekend for the rest of the year. Hoping for better days, but unlikely to waste my time and money until things improve.

He has got 900 000 thousand reasons to say nice things

Look at the dogs this year, they’ve come a long long way. Way better defensively and far more points in attack

Canterbury have to stop shopping at Penrith for their head coaches. Perhaps they’re good assistant coaches under Cleary but not capable of doing it on their own at a struggling club

Well said Gus yes rebuilding means just that. The youth will get fit tough and gain skills with exposure to the game . Hang in there the past caused this but the future will come good say 2 to 3 years time were Queensland's former Victorians so we're not bias just sensible. 😊

The Dogs had more stick and more determination when lead by Josh Jackson and Co.....

A million bucks for a winger turnstile addo carr lol

Well did the Bulldogs go for the right coach? Andrew Webster has done a awesome job over at the Warriors...

Bunnies supporter. Dogs fans don’t stop believing. Gus is right. It’s a long process. Ciraldo doesn’t turn into a dud overnight. His expertise is defence. Look at Penrith with what he achieved. Culture takes 3-5 years. Back him and be patient. It will come

The Dogs have got some talent coming through and it takes time to get them up to speed and hardened for NRL. The Dogs reggies are leading the NSW cup at the moment. I have no doubt they will come through much stronger over the next 2 years. As a Dragons fan I feel the Dogs fans pain (just a wee bit cos, hey, they are the Dogs!)

They had a better access to players in terms of recruitment, whom preferred to go to this side due too Gould and subsequently Ciraldo. Check player roster for this year and last year. At least the Tigers (Cowboys 3rd) and Dragons (Cronulla 2nd) lost too teams that finished in the top 4 last year. Newcastle finished in the bottom 4 last year, to be exact they finished 14th.

Gus I've been watching the game since 1979 and that was the worst footy I've ever seen by far, I didn't know men could play so bad, it was beyond belief

From a grand finalist to the poster child of bulldogs' failure. Come back to Parra Reed we miss ya

Can anyone explain to me why the bulldogs are in this little rut? What caused them to be behind, Gus never speaks about it and I can’t find anything anywhere explaining it

I think the bulldogs are a goner this season regardless. But I have hope that they’ll come back better next season or the one after that.

Gus said he told Ciraldo to wait until 2024 season. Why did you sign him Gus? Dogs should never have sacked Dean Pay.

Gus whines about Hunt maybe going to the Broncos but he takes the Titans half now.

Gus isn’t going to turn on a coach who he himself put there.

Until the bulldogs start developing players and not over paying players on the open market. They won’t compete

Will still take a few more years. Was never going to be an overnight success

Leave our club Gould & Ciraldo

Ciraldo stop experiencing with players pick a strong team and stick with it we dont want to make the finals just win games if you keep swoping and changing there not going to settle together

Hahhaha he’s done an outstanding job lol ok gus

Coaches are judged by win/loss ratio and it’s not good.facts

They’re doing a fantastic job. 66-0 Yeah real fantastic mate. The Dogs use to be a team that opponents use to fear playing against, they’ve been nothing but the easy beats of the competition for the last 7 years and counting. The 5 year plan is going well, only another 20 to go.

I would be worried that Gus said this don't forget what he did at the Panthers praised the coach next sacked. Who took over ????????

Phool Gold - what an amazing hypocrite - quick to criticize other clubs (players, coaches, and admins) for the same thing but won't hear a word about his clubs woes

How do you explain the Dolphins 1st year run then?

They’ve signed more players than any other club. The issue starts from the top. Fire Ciraldo. Fire Gus. Accountability!

I still believe in the Dogs... But does the Players believe in themselves... Because RL is a Defense game, not an attacking game... So Tackle hard and make them feel the pain... Not hold hands and let them run through... BULLDOGS give the pain... And WIN from the Pain

Gus never said 5 years btw

Better roster but less wins never a good look.averello should have been fb imo…but he’s going now.

go the dogs

Toby Sexton at no.7 this week?!

Difficult day for the fans Gus

As someone who's spent the last 21 months building and creating a Touch Football Team, I 100% agree with Gus. "It Takes Patience to Achieve Greatness." The Bulldogs, Tigers and hopefully the Dragons will eventually get back to the top, provided that a long term plan is in place to fully fix the problem and everyone involved with the club is on board with that notion. Trying to get quick fixes as Gus said will only result in more problems for said club in both the short term and the long term as well.

Clubs need to develop their own talent. So I've signed loopy Bronson Xerri and let Averillo go. - Gus logic

Gus you’re past it

i love cake

Outstanding BS Gus 😮

i guess Gus Chose the wrong Assistant Coach 😂😂😂 Ciraldo is just all hype and no results , look at the warriors in the top 8 and are actually winning away games , sure does reflect on how good Webster is doing

Cant buy a winning team, it doesnt work.

Hate to see him doing a bad job😂😂😂😂😂

gus making exuses

DOES BULLDOGS PLAYERS EVER TRAINING DID IT EVER EXIST THERE NOT ANYMORE.. THROW $$$CASH AWAY EXPECT RESULT ON TOP PLAYERS BUT NOT TRAINING DEVELOPING SKILLS & JUNIORS FUTURE TEAM THIS ISN'T 5 YEAR PLAN

Dogs don't have any good leaders at the club

Hes done a crap job, makes too many changes to often

Tigers and Bulldogs should merge next season.

Gus has to support him Gus pushed for Ciraldo Gus pushed for all those players So many excuses

Look for a quick fix ,they have spent more money than East's or Manly

The Dogs are not tackling Every one making excuses for Gus Kissy Kissy suck up
