If this wind keeps up Doueihi’s bombs will be more than a handful at LO today. I wouldn’t what to under one of those today with the LO crowd so close and the wind swirling.
In general play Doueihi played much better against Knights than he did against Parra. He needs to set up the players outside of him. Jet will start to get frustrated outside Doueihi.
Brooks has improved the last two games. Hopefully continues on from his three try assists against Parra.

For me he seems the logical choice to be captain of this side. He has the most passion, he puts in the most effort and if we need a big time play out of anyone in the side he is who I would be giving the ball to. For me he ticks every box.
I'm certain he is a good bloke, but haven't seen anything that says he is captain material.
Admittedly, I don't get to training and this is where you see the natural leaders and who is following, but I haven't seen it from AD. I've seen him during games, like many others, juts standing there stone faced. Nothing wrong with that, because 95% of the population does that, and that's when real leaders and captains stand up and put themselves out there.
And if I was going to be brutally honest, I've seen it from no one else in the team either. I did see Joe O screaming at the team behind the goal line on multiple occasions last week, but can't say I've really noticed and I haven't seen anything else from him that has made him stand out.
I could see maybe a Jake Simpkin, if he has a good start in the next few weeks and gets some respect.
Not saying AD couldn't be, I'm just not seeing anything that I'd like to see from a leader.

Yeah he does, he’s a good boy. Probably wishing he’d never left Souths.

Also he's vocal with the boys and is on the field for the full 80 mins.

He’s next in line. If Tamou retires at the end of next year, AD will be the man in 2023.
Yeah he is the anointed one.

Trouble id CB,no good have a great captain if what he says on the field goes in one ear and out the other of the other 12 blokes on the field....
It doesnt matter what the coach says or does or what the captain says or does...if it DOESNT SINK IN to the thick heads that are the rest of the team,then its a very hard long road to walk....

In defense of captain Tamau, I don’t think he was thinking of coming into a group of dopey and lazy grafters when he signed

He is already a good leader and nothing would improve making him a leader
I still say the ideal candidate is Brooks ...force him to lead this side ....and if he does ,,we get some upside from the decision
