We need a captain

We need someone to take control and guide the shipCowboys beat the broncos because Thurston took control at the crucial time and shouted and shouted at his troops and made sure they calmed down and followed his plan. Broncos did not have a leader in the halves.Same with us. We need someone to take control and guide our troops back on track when we went off track but it did not happen. Taylor was screaming at his troops for a full six tackles at the crucial point making sure they followed his plan. That's why they won.We mainly missed Normz leadership last night. He should be official captain.

  • The level of stupidity is insane it was one game in round 3 the whole team played crap not like anyone would of saved it wasn't our night look forward to Saturday they'll be wiser for it
  • It's nothing new Rhys, soon as we loose a game, a lot of people seem to start sreaming​.
    • It's baffles me the negativity, I hope no player looks at this side because I would want to play for some of these supporters
    • Its not the actual losing a game that is a concern its the way it was lost.  The coach summed it up very well in his words

      “We gave them back to back sets, especially the last twenty minutes of that first half, they had four or five sets in a row and that’s what we have been doing to opposition the last two weeks; strangling them.” Arthur added.

      “They did it to us and they gave us a lesson in completing and playing a nice disciplined game.”

      When ill discipline comes into play it becomes a contagious disease and spreads very fast or in an instant which happened on Friday, 20 minutes on the mark and then on the mat.

  • Norman will be a leader whether he is the official captain or not.

  • It's not doomsday fellas. It was an avg night. Captain wasn't the issue. Mistakes and little rub of green.
  • This is not about Friday night
    We have been lacking quality on field leadership for a long time
    Maybe Corey is starting to be able to provide this - we will see
    Apart from leadership neither Mannah or Scott should be the ones talking to the ref.

    BTW Mannah and Scott are great leaders of the forwards but I don't think either should be team leader
    • The hard aspect of whoever is captain or whoever is leader can and should be one and the same but often that does not happen.  The concept of the co captains I doubt has really worked with the use of forwards only unless they are 80 minute players and how many these days are 80 minute players?

      Both Mannah and Scott are inspirational on the field in what they do, but they are often both off the field at the same time, who then takes over, when they both were off the field on Friday night who was the captain?  The ideal captain should be an 80 minute player, but which one generally in the forwards we have would be Ma'u or a hooker.

      Outside of Norman which of the backs would or could be co captain?

  • Beau Scott should be our captain mannah is too nice
