Jackson Hastings #251

And the captaincy.

(C)
I've just had a feeling all along that Jackson may have specifically asked not to be included in any leadership group or captaincy type role. For that reason I was not surprised that was excluded from the official leadership group when it was announced.

Looking at Moses Mbye and James Tamou who came from outside the club and were made captains without proving their leadership qualities on the field first, I'm pretty sure Jackson didn't want to take that on before proving his leadership qualities on the field first.

I believe that Jackson feels he's got a few things to prove on the field and a few things from the past that need to be erased before he is willing to take on an official leadership role.

I wish him well and hope that he can live up to the expectations that many on this forum have of him and I personally don't expect miracles but hope that he is the catalyst for the beginning of a great culture at this club and the establishment of a win at all costs attitude for all that play in the black, white and gold jersey.
 
No body is anointing him God...however he shows more winning,leadership attributes than the pretenders in the leadership group and team...
Is that just because he has only let us down once so far?

I agree he talks well but I’d like to see some footy before I make any bold predictions.
 
I've liked his interviews and the one he gave with Sen, but even there the mentality around beating Parra sounds so defeatist. Our ambition is to complete sets and kick to the corners and be more resilient and overcome tiredness. I get that's absolutely fundamental, and it's probably all just mediaspeak but you can sort of see that mentality in the way we play and we seem to give up thinking it's all too hard after we make an error. It's all so negative and lacking ambition.

I want us to strive to out play teams, not simply hope to try to compete with them.
