Gallen went split captain last year didnt he?

Would much rather that (at least)

Or even better would much much rather he wasn’t re-signed at all…..he brings sfa

Agree I'd prefer he wasn't kept.

Gallen doing that was part of the transition to Wade, he was captain in waiting for years and years.

He'll be capatin if he's kept mate, there's nothing surer.

That's why I said Co captain, there's no way they take away captaincy, probably the reason why they want to re-sign him for another year because he is the current captain or see him as the leader of the pack😅

Give Co-captaincy to Dale, then takes over after 2023, we have him til 2025. Otherwise I would make Hynes and Mcinnis captains for long term, like panthers have made Cleary and Yeo

Cool with that, so long as we are paying him limited and he’s not taking Wilton’s spot

Only reason i want them to turn him into a lock, free up that left edge for Wilton or even Talakai.

I don't want to see him start on the edge again and then shift to mid field, putting Wilton on during game, waste of an interchange, when backrowers can play 80mins and it also puts off the fluidity, coordination and timing on that edge. Have Dale and Wade Co captains, that way wade doesn't have to start, you have 1 captain starting and one on the bench

I'll tell you what though. Dale is 31 years old himself so his captaincy period can't be too long term either.

Dale and Wade Co captains 2023, then tell Nicho he is future captain 2024 onwards, extra incentive to get him to sign on after 2024 also

If only wade can get fit, ball playing lock in the middle off the bench like what Dylan Walker was doing at manly would be great. Comes on after 20 mins, roam around in the middle as an extra play maker.

If you’re rotating wade and dale, where are you playing McInnes. You could argue he was more consistent then both in 2022.

Wade doesn't have the agility or speed of Walker.

The reality is we are trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Graham just doesn't actually fit into the needs of the team any more.

If Mcinnes played hooker when Brailz is fit it would be for 20 minutes max and then he would play most the game as a middle forward as a ball playing lock.

McInnes and Finucane are our ball playing locks not graham and graham is not better than either of them at that role.

I don’t think it’s Dales age it’s more so Wade as a leader hasn’t been the best for us, he is also very laid back - as a captain you should be setting the standard at training etc it’s not a good look when 3 new players come into your club and they outperform and out train your leaders

we need to move on completely from the last 3-4 years… Wade as a captain will not help that.

We need big changes to take it to that next level and I hope that Wade no longer being captain is one of them

Rant over

I love the idea of McInnes going at 9 for the first 20 then Brailey going the last 60.

I’m suprised we didn’t see McInnes at 9 at all this year, Brailey over 80 can get tired
