I need all of the Tim Mannah fanboys to come here and tell me why he should be in the team

Posted by Gray Fox on June 29, 2017 at 10:54pm

The stats say it all:

Mannah - 36 mins, 9 runs, 73m, 27 tackles and 3 missed tackles.

Brown - 85 mins, 27 runs, 237m, 42 tackles and 0 missed tackles.

Mannah, our long serving captain and leader of our forwards, is pathetic. Compared to Brown he is an embarrassment to himself. In what way does he offer anything to this team? I know quite a few of you still defend him so obviously I don't see what you guys do. Could you please explain to me in a civil manner why he deserves to be in the team and named as captain? And don't say 'we don't have anyone else' because he's been our forwards leader for years now. If you also think I'm being harsh for singling him out remember that Mannah is our most experienced and senior forward and by rights should lead us by example and serve as an inspiration to the rest of the team - much in the same way as Brown does.

The cupboard is bare . There by default . Might/should get the tap on the shoulder at end of season and given a healthy swansong in U.K.

Tims an embarrassment, hes struggled to just get over 90m for weeks now, he gets manhandled and offers SFA, hes even worse as a captain.

Wake up Brad.

They did an amusing bit on the Matty Johns show tonight where they showed him running around in the ruck looking confused. One thing's for sure, he's running on old legs for a man still in his 20's...

He's nice and smiles a fair bit... that's good isn't it?

I'm thinking the reason is because as far behind as he is from the props at other clubs , we don't have many better options .

He should look at giving the game up if he doesn't approve. The issues with concussion may have had their way and it's not worth risking all for a footy career. He just doesn't have that punch he had when he made the origin team.

Problem is nothing down below worthy . Wish there was a lunatic 6 foot 2 , 120kg front rower at another club looking for immediate mid season swap by tommorrow . If we make the 8 won't get past week 1 with this pack

  Hock is 6 foot 3 . Only about 100kg but .

I can't defend him. He shouldn't be in that team let alone Captain. He's done.
