The club's going to have to make this decision now sooner than it wanted to.
Who'll now become our new/next captain?
-
they will most likely give to to newman, but i say lets give it to deledio asap
-
Newman
-
Simmo.
-
Out of the vice-captains I think Newy will get it now given he's been in the system 8 years although Foley is our gun midfielder. Lids still needs to prove himself first IMO. Simmo's not a bad suggestion Beren but I think they may want him to just play after coming back from that ankle injury.

Agreed, maybe elevation to leadership group? Simmo is a quality bloke who works hard on and off the field.

Would give it to Troy :thumbsup

just had a rethink
this is noe the right time to give richo the sendoff and finale he needs for his services t tigerland. whether this is his last yr or next yr or the yr after, give richo the captaincy for the rest of 2008
and then reassess next yr, but even though he shanks many kicks, he bleeds yellow and black and inspires all the young ones not like sugar
-
Newman without doubt in my opinion. :thumbsup

Most supporters would love it especially after Thursday night but David King on 3aw yesterday said Richo is too emotional to be captain which is why he's never been given the opportunity. He's not even in the leadership group anymore.
-
who cares if he is too emotional, thats a lame excuse
sugar wasnt/isnt emotional enough, shows no charisma nor leadership, but was till made captain
richo has always been stated as being our spiritual leader, so lets just give him an honrary captaincy for one yr
newman still shows no respect for his opponent and plays very loose, whether he is trying to be a creative play maker or not
-
I also favor the Richardson option just infront of Simmonds. Hopefully they can hold it long enough to the transition to a Deledio or a Foley.

Wont be any change IMHO

That would be a massive call.
There'll be huge pressure on the club to punish Sugar. Remember the Federal Government wants to crack down on binge drinking using sporting clubs as an example and the AFL wants to get on the good side of the Government in regards to their drug policy.
Really the concern here is not that Sugar was caught urinating on a police station but that he got himself into such a smashed state that he couldn't control his own actions. Sure it happens every night but as captain and a public figure Sugar holds a position of responsibility and is one of the faces of the club. IMO he should step down on his own accord. It's harsh but he would've known the consequences of such stupidity once he took on the captaincy.

100% TOTALLY AGREE.
give it to richo he is the rfc not like this sugar imposter.
richo for mine. it will serve as a interim till they decide who to give it to in the off season

If Sugar is relinquished of his Captain Duties all and good but there are 21 games left in the year off season is light years away and the new appointee would have to be a permanent replacement. I too would love to see Richo honored by the club and given the captaincy but we all know that is not likely and most likely Newman Foley or Deledio will be appointed.

We have a winner based on Bowden's comments.
-
I my opinion I would give it to Newman. I would even do it this next week and if he does well leave it with him and demote Sugar. I would have Brown and Deledio as both vice captains. :gotigers
-
I would give it to richo for his last 3 or 4 years and see who from the younger brigade leads best on and off the field in this time.
But they wont, would say Newman or Joel (That will upset someone) :rollin
Thing is they wont do what needs to be done and stand down Johnson. Bad move (MO)
Richo deserves it the most - by far

thank you :bow :bow thank you very much ;D
As I posted on the other thread - I don't think he was ever going to be stripped of the captainancy.
-
Newman is an over rated footballer. Had one good episode in an International series match and now everybody thinks he's great. (that's were the hype started) In the words of Jack Dyer "he's a good ORDINARY footballer"
At this stage Foley is easily the front runner. Given the mentality of how supporters react put your money on Jake King to be pushed up there real soon as a legitimate candidate if he hasn't already.

Tend to agree RR. I like Newman and his work ethic is admirable but I would be concerned about him keeping his place in the side if he were captain. I view Newman as one of the players we need to replace (upgrade) to become a very good side. Don't get me wrong I like the guy and appreciate his efforts on the field, I just feel that we need better players than him.
-
Newman is the type of player you trade for a decent draft pick, he is overated, not as good as people think, hes a half back flanker- which we have plenty of, and other clubs rate him.

He should of, how dumb ::) ::) , peeing outside a police station. :banghead
If they did drop him as captain, might have changed the culture a bit.
I wonder if we lossed last week that they mighht have had a different train of thought? Can tell you Plough is spewing ;)
-
I'm going to have to stand up for Newy on this. I hardly think he is overrated. He is rated where he is at as a footballer. He is a hard-working, skilful and committed contributor to our side.

Well I am sure Tezza is stoked at your concern Jack :rollin
Seriously
I am not condoning what he did far from it.
Absolutely stupid.
But when you look at what other players have done and gotten away with on multiple occassions (Fraser Gehrig anyone ::)) I reckon a weeks suspension + the fine (although I'd have doubled it) is sufficient.
And as I said - the Club has to make the call and not be seen bowing to supporter and media pressure
-
just a question
if the cop that saw sugar relieving himself was a tiger fan, would have sugar been arrested or just told to go home?

Well going by the response from Tiger fans it would depend if the cop liked Sugar or not :yep.

Two things, Fraser isnt captain.
Club didnt impose anything, ::) Kane Johnson charged himself.

i cant stand sugar but if i was dumn nough to be a cop and saw what he did, i would have let him go home.

Fraser not being captain is not relevant.
Seriously you tell me which is worse and more disgusting - peeing on a wall or peeing over another person. If you reckon it is the wall because he is captain you are kidding yourself
-
Drunk and locked up for 4 hours, I am not kidding myself ::)
-
Nathan Brown
-

I am well aware that he was drunk and locked up ::)
But you haven't answered the question - which is worse peeing on a wall or peeing on another person...
