Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs’ Cameron Ciraldo and Stephen Crichton Fined for Criticizing Game Officials
In a recent development, Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs head coach Cameron Ciraldo and star player Stephen Crichton have been fined for publicly criticizing game officials. Both Ciraldo and Crichton expressed frustration over refereeing decisions during a recent match, leading to swift action from the NRL.
The fines reflect the NRL’s strict stance on protecting the integrity of its officials and ensuring respect for the referees. Ciraldo, who has been working to reshape the Bulldogs’ performance, and Crichton, a key player in the team’s lineup, are now dealing with the consequences of their remarks. The financial penalties serve as a reminder that public criticism of referees is not tolerated in the league.
This situation adds to the Bulldogs’ challenges as they look to regain momentum while balancing on-field performance and off-field discipline.
