Yeah this is a good thing that James speaks out like this. But who to give the c to until Douehi is back?
Look Brooks isn’t captain material let’s get that straight! So I’d go with our fearless winger Nofa and most experienced player.
I wasn't saying that he should be. But considering all the constant "backing of the club" talk, I wouldn't be surprised if they picked him for a bit. Definitely not Noffa. No way.
If Lee H was given his way Nofa would be captain / coach lol

That really is a problem. Chairman is no longer independent. Not sure he should really be there anymore.

Lee first and then depending on performance this year Nofo. I don’t think last year Nofo’s inclusion was based solely on performance and that’s on Lee.
@mike yes but that would make 3 players in maybe 4 years that get the captaincy when only being here 5 minutes. Last 2 haven’t fared well either. Don’t get me wrong I honestly don’t think Nofa should even be in the team but through adversity he couldn’t be such a bad choice.

You can’t make someone a leader if they don’t have the qualities required no matter how long they’ve been in a place.

I think it would be hard to find someone in professional sports globally who would be a poorer captain than Nofa. Terrible attitude and an average player who thinks he's a superstar. He shouldn't even be in the 17 and the re-signing of him for 4 years is one of the worst decisions we've ever made as a club. I cannot stand watching him play.
@avocadoontoast I 100% agree with you guys, but who else do we give it to? And don’t say Brooks please!
Its only going to be temporary until AD returns, given that he’d been a shoe in if fit. Who knows it might make him a better player and person maybe??

I'd name AD captain now and have a caretaker in the meantime, probably Hastings because he seems like the only player with a real voice (of what i've seen of him in SL). Brooks would be a horrible captain.
I wouldn't be putting Twal in because I don't think he's the sort of personality to be a captain and i want a captain on the field the whole 80.
So AD becomes the 6 then ?
you can't make AD caretaker captain because if we are well placed come mid season what happens you move Brooks or Hastings yo accommodate AD ? or he plays at centre
if AD plays at centre then we give up on going for a gun centre for 2023 and run with gildart and AD
No guarantees where AD will be playing elt alone captain

AD straight to 6. Brooks and Hastings can fight out the other halves spot.
@avocadoontoast so Brooks to 6 Hastings to 13 and if Peachey goes well ? ?
does all depend if we are winning if we are winning Madge will not change the halves don't care who it is coming back from injury
2 knee injuries for AD already, will be interesting how he comes back,

I'd have 1. Laurie 6. AD 7. Hastings 13. Peachey
IMO Brooks has not and never will work in a Maguire system.
It’s a dogs breakfast situation that we are in really. I think at a stretch we could go with Peachey as he has the most experience at nrl level. Plus he’s an ‘elder’that the rest of the team would more than likely follow.
I have no issues if they want to give Peachey the captaincy until AD comes back. Apart from AD I don't think there's anyone from our 2021 squad that has shown any leadership qualities whatsoever.
