A bit of talk Api isn't a good captain...
Best player, biggest talker, highest work rate, cares, takes responsibility, genuinely admired by the team, fights to stay on the field when injured or crook.
In the one training session I saw he was the clear leader out there. He's everything you want in a captain and I'm proud he captains our club. We're very lucky.
You can point to the lack of success under him but I point to the way he continues to give more than everything despite those circumstances. Maybe some of you prefer a more demonstrative and agro leader who will point their finger and stuff like that, but I admire how selfless and considered Api has been. Again, he does so much more for the team then they do for him, and I just don't agree that you can put that on him, I think that's the sad culture of our club. Lesser captains would (and have) simply shrugged their shoulders and collected their paycheck and matched the mediocrity. You can see our lack of success eats at Api.
Thanks Api!

I think it depends on the actual crime.
But I’d be much tougher on anti club conduct such as the spoon bowl laughing hyenas.
I’d ban them from all club functions and the white elephant until next year.
As (word removed) up as we are, playing for this club must be regarded as a privilege.
That would make sense after the Buzz column about a young player getting sacked. would be too big of a mistake for them to ‘accidentally’ leave him out from the article & graphic of the rep players considering they even added Ipap who’s leaving + players that have never laced a boot for this club yet. Well spotted mateSo what do we think team, has Miller no longer got a contract with us?
Name on the bench for Fiji.

Link to article below. Absolutely no mention of Miller. References Ipap who is leaving. Turuva coming & lower grades players but no Miller. I assume he's gone.

The expression on Api's face during the post match press conferences tells you everything.

I love Api, but I’d prefer JL as captain, he’s got leadership blood coursing through his veins.

Ok, I’ll meet halfway and agree.
If we wanted the key to getting all our ex panthera to click into gear, I think JL and Api are a solid start.
Both are eyes-up and very creative footballers by their nature. Sometimes that’s led JL into error, but the thirst is always there as it seems to be for Api.

Yeah I thought Cobbo with that one. And all the talk is he is going to the Cowboys. So made sense but it could be something else entirely and more extreme.

I was looking at the list and surprised no one has mentioned Jacob Alick-Wiencke. Looked good when given an opportunity with the Titans and behind Fermor and Fifita there

If he was charged and before a magistrate in a criminal case, the prosecutor would be saying something like,
"We will be providing evidence to the court that the accused is guilty as charged, however, there were extenuating circumstances and we believe that he did not act alone."

The "rep" game was a team of a combination of fringe first graders like Seyfarth, Liddle and McIntyre plus some rookie up and comers and a few cooked veterans, playing against a Queensland Cup team.
One of the "rep" players was described by his own father on the Macca Sunday morning show on the ABC as "playing some games filling in for Bradman Best".
The "finals series" was a humiliation where he was exposed as sadly out of his depth.
The Brooks cult will grasp at any straw.

Are we still on about Brooks? How long has it been since he left? Mods, does the budget extend to grief counselling for those still missing Brooks? I liked him but I don't miss him at the club.
