Self explanatory. I made it a vote thread, but still can't see how to make the vote.....@Mods?


Yes.

If Matt is up to handling the next absolute shitstorm, I'll back him.

The only thing that would worry me about him being captain is that he is still relatively new to NRL.

The players look up to him, but if we go down 18-0 early in a game does he have the composure to reassure the squad and get them focused back on the job.

And even with Lodge as captain you still need one of the playmakers to have a feel for the game and when to kick a team to death and win it through your defence.

Yeah I’m for it only as a **** you to everyone else but I’m really not sure if he should be.

It's hard to know until we give him a chance. I believe the bashing he's endured will give him the steel required but that's just my belief based on the evidence.

Worth noting the question I asked in the thread title is different to the question being asked. Still, he is my 1st choice.

There doesn't seem to be an alternative. The only two other players who possess the qualities in the team are probably Glenn & Ofahengaue, and there's a very real chance both of those players are on the bench next season, in Glenn's case, possibly not even on the team.

What? Why? Which one day I vote yes for.

I’m definitely okay with him being captain but I don’t necessarily know if he’s the best option for captain.

Your poll is bad and you should feel bad.

I'm not sure the players look up to Offa in the same way they look up to Lodge though.

Strong no, has everyone just joined the let’s make the wrong fucking decision brigade like the club seems to have?

It’s a moot point anyway, no fucking chance it happens.

You don't necessarily have to look up to your captain, you just have to respect them. I think everyone in the team respects Joe, he's also well spoken and seemingly intelligent. Only thing holding him back from being a potential captain is the fact that Lodge & Haas are too good to leave out of the starting side, and he lacks the skill required to be a Lock.

Like the Milford to FB switch. He's terrified there will actually be an improvement.
