I've noticed some comments from Bulldogs coach Ciraldo that he's not very happy with the refereeing/bunker calls made yesterday in his team's loss to the West Tigers.
Not too sure if his concerns are justified or not! As I've not actually watched the replay. However he says he's contacted the NRL about these refereeing decisions. I guess the point here is will this have any impact on the Bulldogs next match at Accor Stadium?
Will the NRL try and make up for it and appease Ciraldo and give the Bulldogs a more than average rub of the green against the Eels as we know that Ryles doesn't stand up much against refereeing errors. On another note I thought the referee was very good in the Knights vs Eels game even though Eels lost a game they should have won

Ciraldo is definitely doing a great job of becoming a despised coach by basically every fan in the NRL other than Bulldogs fans. Zero accountability and full of excuses. His whole blowup was all emotion and no facts, I can't see the NRL trying to appease him.
The whole team at the Dogs looks unsettled at the moment - it doesn't look like a happy place to be and the reverberations from moving on Sexton and Mahoney still look like they're causing friction.
Yeah he's resorting to blaming refs every week. I do agree the charge down no try was a bit silly, but the fact every week he blames refs shows the insecurity. He's too proud to change anything as if it works proves everyone right and him wrong.
He will be gone in the last round. Gus will need a scapegoat.
Saw no issue with the refereeing in that game so no idea what he's on about. But it does worry me that they'll get all the calls next week against us
He blames the refs every week and only won one out for what their last 7? I wouldn't worry to much.
