Canterbury's coach Cameron Ciraldo requires stitches after glass shattered in the coaching box at Canberra's GIO Stadium, prompting calls for renovations.
Canterbury's coach Cameron Ciraldo has joined growing calls for Canberra's GIO Stadium to undergo a facelift after revealing he will need stitches after glass shattered on him in the ageing arena.
While the visiting coach was left with a deep gash in his hand, Raiders' boss Ricky Stuart also weighed in, calling his side's home arena in the capital a "shithouse stadium" and suggesting authorities didn't care about the state of the 1970s-built venue.
Drama erupted inside the stadium in the dying minutes of the Bulldogs' gritty 14-10 win against Canberra on Thursday night, when Ciraldo thrust his hand against the glass of his coaching box.
