Bulldogs coach Cameron Ciraldo got stitches after a coaches' box window shattered during a tense win over the Raiders.
Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs coach Cameron Ciraldo will need to get stitches on his hand after the window of the coaches' box shattered at GIO Stadium on Thursday evening.
The Bulldogs sealed a tense 14-10 victory over the Canberra Raiders following a wet slugfest the Australian capital, with fullback Connor Tracey producing a last-minute tackle on rival halfback Ethan Sanders metres from the line to prevent a game-winning try.
"Raiders were minor premiers last year, so we knew it was going to be a tough ask coming down here," Ciraldo told reporters during the post-match press conference.
"I'm just really proud of the performance. The Raiders started fast. At one stage we were a try down with 80-20 possession against us and really had to dig deep there.
"I know the boys were hurting. They hadn't played in 19 days, so they were just trying to find their rhythm."
