Who'll become our next captain?

[Hellenic Tiger]

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

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.

Wont be any change IMHO

We have a winner based on Bowden's comments.

[bushranger]

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. 

[cub]

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) 
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  thank you very much

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.

[Ramps]

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.
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

[bluey_21]

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 

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  .

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