Moses is a good player and a bad captain...and that's OK....but we need to do something about it. Fuck knows who we could give it to at this point but it seems obvious to me that Moses ain't the guy for it. His Captaincy changes him, his manner and attitude suffer. Watching him, well, I wouldn't follow him into a bakery
I wonder aloud, here amongst the "sack EvErYOnE" wailing wether part of our recruitment clusterfuck comes down to folks being less than keen to play with/under Moses?

Where has there been any replies to this blog about sacking the coach? You are always very full of assumptions about others.
Fair post. Is being captain hindering him? It could be. You could argue even when Gutho was here as captain that Moses didn't need the 'C' to his name as he would lead on the field anyway. But now he has that all on him with no Gutho there adding his pieces. Paulo was a captain, but more that lead by example instead of that leader type voice.
Although i was not overly keen on the Barnett signing, unless we got younger in the pack, i will admit as a forwards leader he would have been perfect. KK i am not sure what type of leader he would have been but he could have been a great voice to have.
I found it funny though when people compared Moses' complaining to the ref like Cameron Smith. Difference is Smith never yelled at, rushed over to or got in the refs face. He was able to talk to the refs in a respectful manner and it went a long way. Moses is, as Adam mentioned, too emotional. He gets frazzled when things do not go his way and it rubs off on the team. Instead a calmer head to talk to the ref would go down a lot better. Refs are human, if a player is being a pain in the arse and disrespectful they can take that the wrong way and it could effect a few calls.
Moses definately had a muzzle on today and sometimes it is for the best. Would he crack it if taken off him? Who knows but instead a co-captain approach could be better. If we did manage to get Keaon he could have been it.
I don't think it's an issue in recruitment. He is the NSW HB and a good one at that. Most NRL players want to play with a dominant half.
Anyway we have a butt load of issues to fix. Who the Captain is ranks about issue no.487.
Who the Captain is ranks about issue no.487....should it though? In a rebuild? I dunno about that.
Yeah, he's agreat player...but is he also, let's say, a bit of a wanker? If "Most NRL players want to play with a dominant half" where the fuck are they? Even one?
I agree he probably is a bit of a wanker. I don't know him at all. But if he was on the market at least 10 clubs would line up for him.
As for why we can't sign players. If you did a list of pros and cons. Cons: Past results, lack of rep quality squad, low ball offers, minimal 3rd party. Basically fuck all chance of winning a GF or even playing finals. Moses would be in the pro column.
Well yeah, okay that's true, (sad-face emoji)
