The pressure valve has been well and truly released on Canterbury coach Cameron Ciraldo after his side thumped a hapless Gold Coast 32-0 at Belmore.
With two losses to open the NRL season after some heavy recruitment, questions were being asked of second-year coach Ciraldo, who had come out of the highly rated Penrith system.
But he was confident his troops weren’t far away from a breakthrough win, and they proved him right in their Saturday afternoon match, smashing the Titans in a six-try-to-nil romp
It’s easy after a couple of losses to change things around and stop believing in what you’re doing,” Ciraldo said.
“But I feel like everyone in the building kept believing in what we were doing and stuck to it, and today we got the result.
“I thought we were going to have a good performance, but it’s good to get a scoreline like that.”
I thought we were going to have a good performance, but it’s good to get a scoreline like that.”
While they have been carrying injuries, it’s been a nightmare start for new Gold Coast coach Des Hasler, with his team only scoring four points in their two games either side of the bye.
