OFFICIAL James Tamou [Discussion]

I think Twal and Brooks co captaincy is the most likely scenario

No way Twal is even named as a co captain he's not a starter any given week. It will be Brooks probably may have been Doueihi had he not been injured but cant see anything other than that. It think it was mentioned last night during the coverage that Tamou wont be captain due to limited minutes i think ??

Geez the Brooks haters and ones stirring the pot that Madge hates Brooks would be livid.

Part of me would love this to happen though. Might force Brooks to take a big step change.

He was captain for our last games… including his inspirational effort against the Dogs.
Pretty woeful when we are looking at him and Nofo as leaders.

Too true mate!🤣

Toiler.
Bloody auto-correct.

Haha I really thought you mean consistent toilet!

I like it... Can we have consistent toilet of the week? 🤣🤣

 

[Tim Sheens]

Nothing wrong with a consistent toilet F2B. The last thing I want is a surprise in the throne.

I thought the consistency had a large bearing on whether surprises remained in the throne.

Although I think some of our blokes would just be a fly-blown hole in the floor.

The thing that worries me is there is no shape to our defence or attack - especially attack. It is one thing to play bad and lose a trial it is another to look clueless and lose

Tamou has done nothing - Madge

 

[Krammy]

That’s the worst part about the whole thing. They have looked in the mirror and said “we need to try harder and we will be fine” rather than saying “what can we do differently? What are those teams doing that we are not?”

The interview was the worst thing I saw last night. Yep the on field performance was below where it needed to be but if that is what they are thinking off the field it’s worse than I thought.

Agree - it's about doing something different. We can't do the same things as last year or the years before that - it simply didn't work.

 

[Krammy]

Wow - there are a lot of burnt supporters on this forum - including me. Last year in particular has left scars and we are all getting gloomy after one trial performance. I don't blame anyone as last night's game brought back some ordinary memories from last year. People are already starting to get personal with their comments. I, for one, am going to try to take a breath and wait to see if there is anything different coming this year. If we are stinking after 8 rounds, Madge will be gone and at least there will be something different to look forward to. If Madge gets the team going in a different direction there will be a positive flow on effect and we can all have a smile.

Don't you believe Sheens would notice players not responding to the intense style pre-game dressing shed rant? Would it not be reasonable for him to tap Maguire on the shoulder to let him know he needs to change things up with his pre-game addresses? What exactly is it about modifying the pre-game address to reduce the intensity to try for a better outcome that offends you? I'm interested to learn because at this stage of the pre-season things aren't rosy.

Yeh I noticed brooks was pondering about going to Bali when Madge was ranting.
I think players these days need to be cuddled and maybe sung to, you know, something soothing like a lullaby.

Totally disagree 🤣
Only joking

 

[WT2019]

I would hope Madge has changed something because our current trend has been downwards lol

With two new assistants in I'm sure there's been changes at training, hopefully it's for the better. Tamou is just trying to say it's on the players to take responsibility but I hear that every off season

Have seen and heard plenty on Cayless but nothing on Gardin… Is he still there?

I predict Luke Brooks as the inaugural winner in Rd1

That paper poking its head up the bowl is nasty.

Ah ok. But not sighted in any pics from our training?

Unsure of that...

Hopefully he'll be helping out soon.
We need it.

Sheens isn't incompetent, give him time Maguire seems to be the one that can't adapt and that's going to bite him if he can't get results
