now, hear me out, out the pitchforks away. For now. I love Mannah, his service to the club has been exemplary. But in my opinion and I stress it as only my opinion the problem may start with BA but it finishes with the Captain. Arthur isn’t on the field with them, he isn’t the one the team looks to dig deep, it’s the captain. The one out there with you and pushing you forward.
Let’s face it, there is a lot of back talent in this team and a pack with some potential but Gutho can’t save this team. I don’t think Moses and Norman are at fault as some of you may think. They have no platform to build off and the middle of the field isn’t pushing up or shifting or doing anything once the ball gets past the B defender. No discipline and no direction, Brownie putting his hand up but he can’t take every run. Mannah needs to go, not because he is statistically and subjectively the worse starting prop in the comp but because he isn’t leading the pack. Players that looked hungry and fangs like Alvaro, Evans at roosters, Manu, Edwards and even glimpses of Tepai just look blunt and like they have no edge. It’s not Mannahs entire fault but when your captain can’t lead by example, don’t see how a team can follow suit. I don’t think he has that hunger anymore. He just looks tired. I’m not saying drop him. But take the C away from him. Give it to Brown. Has that competitive edge that is just infectious, may be a bit late now, should of been at the start of the year but speaking from the perspective of a current player (this will resonate with a lot of you former and current players) when your captain (should he be a forward) puts the biggest bloke on the field on his backside. It just stirs something, makes you want to make that next tackle, when your captain did the first hit up and it takes 3 to get him down and still gets that quick play the ball. Makes you want to be next in line screaming “this ones mine!”.
But how good was little Jenko on Monday? He had a spark and maybe it’s because he is young and hungry. Should look to get Greg L and Jaeman our there soon, and bring Gower back up with maybe Andy Saunders, heard he has had impact off the bench and he was great in the Panthers junior system in the finals game against Newcastle a few years back (only game I’ve seen with him)

BA selected the captain and persists with the selection (as others keep stating e.g. Snake).
The fact that Brad keeps Tim as captain is one of the reasons ive lost all faith in Brad, Its tweedle dee and tweedle dumber.
Tim is helping destroy BAs career and Tim will be smiling when Brad loses his job, just as hes done for every coach, then Tim will be sucking up the new coach in no time.
Truely i never realised just how mentally impaired and ignorant BA is, theres clearly not a lot up top.
We need to sign David Warner. You can just about guarantee he will get our captain sacked....
Moses and/or gutherson should be captain. 80 minute players who genuinely love the club and have a long future ahead of them
He would've been more well regarded if he'd retired two seasons ago.
FWIW I would've chosen Brown. He deserved it after last season, always leading from the front. Maybe if we'd started the season with him as our leader we wouldn't be in as much shit as we are at present.
Tim is fucking poison to this club, hes a huge part of our toxic soft underbelly and hes a suckhole ass kisser.
He also has the footy smarts of a dope, cant get a thing out of the refs or team mates, tim couldnt lead a shit out of well fed dogs ass.
That some of our fans support this guy being in the team or as captain shows just how low we are as a club.
A piece of shit would be a better captain.
BA made Foran captain and Mannah club captain remember? BA didn’t want him as captain either. Who the fuck else would you have as captain? Lmao
Why the fuck is it so ridiculous to consider anyone else? Could they be any worse in that role than he is?
As I said, should be Brown. Leads the pack from the front and loves the club, he isn’t just an enforcer anymore. Has bled more blue and gold in one season than others have done in years
