Just saw a grab for nine news saying Mbye is stepping down from the captaincy.

You can't be captain if your not on the field
Here comes Laurie

Tamou will be only for 40 odd

Thought he handled himself well. Hope he has a good year.

I’ll second this!

Respect all opinions but really don’t understand the need for some to be so vindictive towards our players. Yep they make mistakes and sometimes frustrate us but they do give their all. (Just wait until they leave the club then all bets are off).

He seemed far from the guy kicking rocks , we were told about a few weeks back. He seems like a bloke , who would have been gutted , but realised his own form was significantly lacking the last couple of years , and he doesn’t need the burden of captaincy .
I have high hopes for Mbye this year , I sneaky think he will be our best player , and return to the form that earned him his contract in the first place .
 
I laughed when he had a black eye..

Shows someone has knocked him around, or that he was cheeky to someone and put him in his place.

Before someone says something, it can’t be from a ball at training haha
 
Good on him, very honest, handled himself well. We need guys that put the team first.
Personally I hope he finds some form and a role in the team

Agree mate. I hope he has a cracking year. Though I’ll be the first to admit I’m not sure where he stands IF Laurie is as good as said. I think Maguire will go 2 hookers so no room for a utility on the bench.

Will make him a better player..

I hope you are right. I had high hopes for Mbye, only to be disappointed. I would love to see him perform well.
 
It's a good move for Mbye and the club.
He's a respected player but too reticent to be captain.

I'm not with the lynch mob on Mbye either.
He's a good player. Overpaid, sure. But still a decent player.

I think he'll show that this year.
Good luck, Moses!

Am I the only one that hopes Tamou isn’t given the captaincy??
We’d be better off blooding Brooks or even Douehi imo

Why?

Well I think Mbye is a great eg tbh

I mean preferably Douehi, cause I think he adds a lot to the team. Plus how many minutes will James be on the field?

I'd prefer a Captain that has cemented their position in the team.

Fair enough. I just think Tamou will lead by example - do the job packer was bought to do I suppose. Plus he’s experienced and successful. And I reckon Doueihi will need to focus on a new role

Here comes Laurie

Tamou will be only for 40 odd

I can only guess that Madge sees Laurie at fullback full time if he arrives
Even if it is after a dozen rounds

If that's the case and Mbye doesn't make the 17, how do you then stand him down as captain

Its better to do that now
There is nothing to say that Mbye can't be acting captain while Tamou is off, should he be on the field

This may also help with offloading Mbye if that's an option for the club
If any club was slightly interested then they may watch this space a little closer now
I could see Mbye at Brisbane or Cowboys
Who knows, the Dogs may even come sniffing because thats what dogs do

Anyway if it was my choice I would keep Momorovski over Mbye
For the $ he is much better value
But that's just my opinion

I think best to have doueihi and Brooks focussing on establishing their combination, they don't need any extra pressure this year

Tamou best choice, is a proven leader, knows what to say at the right times and has the big game experience

Only other main candidate in my head would be nofa, based on experience and dedication to the club, but wouldn't be a very practical choice I know
 
Just watched the video. Mbye spoke very well.
Hopefully it was just my screen (Or the lighting) but the colours on the jerseys looked Red and Black like the Bears
