‘Tough environment’: Bulldogs coach reacts to ex-player’s legal case, strongly defends trainer

Canterbury coach Cameron Ciraldo declared NRL was “not for everyone” but denied suggestions the Bulldogs don’t care as much about welfare as other clubs in his first response to legal action taken by a former player.

He he also praised trainer Travis Touma who has been at the centre of the allegations and declared he was happy with the way players were treated and the culture at the club.Watch every game of every round this NRL Telstra Premiership Season LIVE with no ad-breaks during play on Kayo. New to Kayo?“I think we do as much, if not more, than any other club with a number of people that care about the welfare of our players,” he said.

Topine, who is no longer at the Bulldogs, was late to a training session last year and alleges he was forced to wrestle the rest of the squad, a punishment he claims was “assault”. “What we can’t control is reputations, but we can control the character. Trav is of the highest character possibly of anyone I’ve ever met.“He cares about the people he works with, he’s a family man, he lives a very clean life, and he’s a guy we’re really lucky to have at the club. Our players are really lucky to have him.“He’s helped develop better players and better people, and that’s why we wanted to bring him to the Bulldogs. He fits what we’re trying to do here.
