Ciraldo owes Dogs fans apology; dream clash is Broncos\u2019 \u2018worst nightmare\u2019<\/a><\/p>\nResponding to Gould\u2019s comments, Foxsports.com.au\u2019s Paul Crawley said the Bulldogs supremo was \u201ckidding himself\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cDoesn\u2019t it prove that they\u2019ve got it wrong? He\u2019s conceded that Galvin has never played halfback in any course of his career yet they brought him in mid-season when the team was on top of the ladder to play halfback,\u201d Crawley said on NRL360.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t use it as an excuse now. Then on the weekend when he shifts back to five-eighth and the previous week, Galvin finds his rhythm again.<\/p>\n
\u201cGus is kidding himself. He\u2019s trying to spin his way out of the argument but the fact of the matter is, what Gus just said is the proof that they did a job on themselves. They self-sabotaged.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ciraldo: “We ran into a Champion team” | 06:02<\/p>\n
\u201cIt sounds like a big contradiction,\u201d NRL360 host Braith Anasta added.<\/p>\n
\u201cHave your opinion Gus. Put your case forward. But to take a pot shot at everyone who has had their opinion on the situation and the way that they went out in straight sets and then act like we\u2019ve been talking s**t. Come on buddy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019ve turned it into that we are criticising him personally and him as a player. No, we\u2019re just critiquing him as a halfback and why the Bulldogs made that decision. It\u2019s not about Lachlan Galvin for us.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Daily Telegraph\u2019s Dean Ritchie believes Ciraldo and Gould are in denial about why the Bulldogs\u2019 season went downhill.<\/p>\n
\u201cGus makes a living being in the media offering opinions so it\u2019s a tad rich to bag other members of the media,\u201d Ritchie said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s important too guys that we\u2019ve heard from Cameron Ciraldo say the criticism of Galvin is crap now we\u2019ve got Gus saying it\u2019s childish. It\u2019s a smother because they got rolled <\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe, just maybe, they should look in the mirror and look internally as to what went wrong instead of shifting blame to the media.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGus is trying to swing the conversation to get a little bit of sympathy for Galvin and take the focus away from the fact that he and Ciraldo have led this campaign to sabotage their own season,\u201d Crawley added. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou listen to Cameron after the game and he won\u2019t admit it until he\u2019s blue in the face despite the fact so many great judges are sitting there asking the same questions.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Phil Gould has been accused of \u201cspinning his way out of\u201d the club\u2019s now questionable decision add young…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":164524,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[108333,64,63,7618,17343,28814,763,108334,24343,96308,4617,33215,108332,761,762,108331,158,11396,7495,108330,108329,85,76104,4440,9020],"class_list":["post-164523","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-apple-cart","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cameron-ciraldo","tag-daily-telegraph","tag-dean-ritchie","tag-fox-league","tag-gus-blasts","tag-junior-football","tag-key-spine-players","tag-lachlan-galvin","tag-lord-gould-of-brookwood","tag-media-offering-opinions","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-natural-five-eighth-position","tag-nrl","tag-paul-crawley","tag-post-game-press-conference","tag-pot-shot","tag-questionable-decision","tag-sports","tag-straight-sets","tag-toby-sexton","tag-young-gun"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164523","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=164523"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164523\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/164524"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=164523"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=164523"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=164523"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
