Canterbury Bulldogs season hinges on massive decision

Sexton’s arrival on Friday night seemed to release the shackles, and Bulldogs looked better for that.

This idea was put in Ciraldo, who did not give any indication that he would be afraid to go back to half with Galvin and Sexton when they made a square against the winner of the Panthers-Warriors final next Saturday night.

“Tonight behind it, yes, 100 percent, Cira Ciraldo said about a possible Galvin-Sexton Halves combination.

“I thought that they haven’t really received education in these positions and what we could do against a really quality opposition; I thought it was great.

“We will look at this for the next week, but the real issue is the healing of our men right now, this is a cruel game. We have to heal physically and emotionally and prepare ourselves next week.”

The physical transition will be much more difficult than the emotional to overcome. Emotionally, they became a buoy with what Ciraldo describes as one of the most courageous performances associated.

However, Crichton’s movement after the game and the gloomy mood of the Canterbury staff in the borders of Aami Park, will not play again this season – next week.

“It is hard to know until the scans get the scans, but it doesn’t look great when you can’t finish a game,” he said.

The good news for Bulldogs is that Bonson Xerri must return, Marcelo Monttoya is competing in the second week of the finals to overcome his own syndesmoz damage.

Crichton’s central partner, Enari Tuala, left the field with a calf injury that could end the season; Worse luck for Bulldogs.

“None was none, Ciraldo said Ciraldo.

The lack of luck mentioned by the coach was not only about the physical situation of some players.

Ciraldo was forced to bite his tongue when he was asked to ask Adam Gee’s arbitrator.

Ciraldo, “I probably hoped that you would ask me this question 10 minutes ago, and then I calmed down and I’m thinking of not getting into trouble,” he said.

“It’s a good thing, it was to come here three weeks ago and you know the rules of participation after you.

“I will only close my mouth, but I think we were half a second in the ball of the ball and we were punished for slow ridges, so I wasn’t satisfied with that.

“I was disappointed for two points for a high struggle penalty in the first half. And then when we gained some rise there in the second half and there was a crusher penalty that came out of his own trial line, and I was not even more satisfied with it.

“As I said before, you need some luck in these games and there is zero tonight.”

The season that promises so much is now threatening to end heart pain. Next week, a loss and coach will wear the crime for too much confusion. Or maybe not enough.
