We don’t really have any stand outs - which really highlights the biggest issue of our team. We are missing senior leaders

Doueihi yes but injured. Should be captain next year but injured for first half of season. Still to nail position but has passion and drive. Should be captain when returns.
Tamou - no. Should be dropped as captain and from top 17.
Brooks - no. Captain at end of 2021 but isn’t a leader and can’t handle the pressure.
Hastings - maybe. sheens made captain of rest of world side. Grown into a leader, vocal and should play 7. But new to side and yet to established in nrl.
Laurie - no. still to young. Panthergate showed still to learn. Naturally quiet. But leads with actions.
Utoikamanu - maybe. Emerged as our best forward. Leads with actions although naturally quiet. Reminds me of big petero. Smoky
Peachey - maybe. Experienced and will be in top 13. New to club.
Ofahengaue - no. experienced but seems quiet. Needs a rocket. Should be a senior leader. Not sure makes to 13
Twal maybe. In 21 leadership group. Now a senior player. Seems articulate but not sure he’s a natural leader.
Liddle - no. Needs confidence.

What about Luciano ? I know he's young but he's always talking to the boys getting em revved up

Doueihi should be it but he’ll be out for round 1. I’d lean towards keeping Tamou captain simply because there is no one else that stands out.

This is a depressing thread and exposes our absolute lack of leadership in the playing ranks. There is no one

It's the priority for the recruitment team.
Still think we should have gone harder for Finucane

Shame Doueihi ain't there

One thing i do like about our new signings is that all 3 are competitors who bring energy to a team.

I’m sure Gildart will bring plenty of energy to the Magpies.

Not even an established NRL player, let alone captain material.

No love for Nofoaluma

AD when back. Like many have said no stand out leader has emerged.

Id go Twal club and team captain and Brooks vice captain. AD can make a strong case for himself once he's back. We can't make someone club captain based on one good season.

Round 1 - I'd give the captaincy to Twal - plays big minutes, leads from the front foot and does his job.

Does he talk? Surely we need a leader who leads with both words and actions. Douhie still has work to do on his own game but in the next few years he seems a great option. Hastings is the only one with the personality and experience to be captain. Sheens picked Hastings to be the captain of the exiles earlier this year when they beat England.

And Brooks got the job? ?

Must look at an individuals strengths and see how they can benefit the team.

Jackson Hastings:
Communicator ✅
Leadership ✅

Whilst AD is out, he strikes as a clear winner.
In my opinion.

It sucks, but no one is replacing Tamou anyway. So just more wasted energy even discussing it.
