Yeh (C)s choose themselves....but even last year there was no one, Tamou walking into the job didnt sit well with me but there was little other option

I think he is the best option. I don't think Tamou is that bad but he isn't a sure pick in our team. I wouldn't pick him in the top team. I reckon we have too many middle forwards better than him.
I agree 100%
@GNR4LIFE said Hastings shouldn't be captain because he hasn't earrnt it or worn a jersey...
Yet Tamou got the gig no questions asked and has shown his true colours multiple times.
He tried to look tough for the camera last night before kick off and put all the gear on for the interview but he's a clearly not interested.
One more year and that's the last of him.

Twal, Nofo or Brooks. Take your pick. You can understand why Madge choose Mbye and Tamou but they were bad decisions.

I can't pick Hastings because he hasn't proven anything on the park. It's the same as picking Mbye and Tamou.
The captain should come from within the club. I'd prefer Doueihi but he is injured.

You've got to be so careful with signings. People go on about needing experience but Tamou is exactly that player. We just have a bunch of decent middle forwards and he is a decent middle forward.
The Papali signing is a good one because it's an area where we need quality players. At the same time losing Luc and Tuilagi is really poor because they can both play.
Nofo is such an average player but two players in Twal and Hastings have talked up his captaincy qualities.
Laughed and rolled my eyes last night when he ran side ways across the field.
Same old. 🤦♂️

The only positive out of that interview was that he managed to not mention the Panthers.
I hope the silly prick rues the fact that he chased security over a premiership for the rest of his days.

Apparently Laurie was up that way because of a close relative who passed away
And man yeah just saw the Tamou interview, if that’s the guy who’s leading us around this year we’re in trouble

At what point does sheens step in to coaching ?
Agree with others in that the one positive is that it now gives Madge/the assistant coaches/the team enough time to correct any problem areas. Depth is an issue and having a whole different team again, with several new players makes it even hard to know who's best for certain positions.
Thought LL and Joffa were great, Peachey was okay (especially in attack) but admit there just wasn't enough game time from him to determine how we'll likely line up this year. So it's a little worrying knowing that there's a decision still to made on our forwards (bench use and prop rotation).
We looked so small in comparison to Manly. Their defence was also much more effective than ours.
Admit I didn't watch much of the second half but I cannot understand the praise Tuki has gained. He and Seyfarth, no offence, looked like reserve graders. Madden the same. Good kicking game though.
Can't criticise our attack too much as we were good despite the conditions but the annoying thing about last was defence yet again. Plus also the fact two of our better performers(Tuilagi and LL) will be elsewhere, but that's JMO obviously.
Logan Dillon looks very slick and sharp. Personally hope to see him in first grade at least once this year.
But yeah it's way too soon to tell if much change has actually occurred.

Never, I hope. Sheens job is to introduce and establish a more positive culture at the club. To make it the club where it’s an honour to be given the captaincy.
Hopefully never.

Call me an oddball, while it didn't sound good, I think he was simply trying to take ownership that it was the team's responsibility to improve.
He was trying to say last year wasn't on madge
