Wade was visibly filthy cussing on the walk back to half way after we conceded that intercept try and didn't keep those turds to zip

Was very inclusive of Braydon to let both teams score some points (even if he said the F word about 5 times on the way to DCE getting the ball down)

Love that. Maybe it will give them the motivation to keep the dogs to zero.

They showed a shot of DCE from front on... there was plenty of Sharks behind looking like he just scored the winning try.

Good signs.

Is there any other captain as hopeless as Wade at the captains challenge? Would love to know his success rate

He would only be going off what his players are telling him.

Iro / Teig should have known better.

Ok so this was from the 23rd of July.

Can work out how many more games since then, but from memory I think we had won none since this

not enough reason to take the captaincy off someone. It was later in the game, we weren't going to lose the game, we took a punt on the CC and got a breather. Fans make too big a deal out of it. Look at that table above. Most teams/captains get it wrong more often than not

He should do what my wife does and automatically say no unless there is a lot of begging and grovelling to overturn her decision.

I wise man once told me
don't ask for permission

ask for forgiveness

Did he play tonight? Didn’t notice him at all.

yea he played, was pretty good actually with the exception of a dropped ball from a simple pass

We should just forget we have captain’s challenges.

what would you prefer? Winning games or winning the CC roulette? honestly it's not like it's costing us games on the regular and we do get some right

Wade isn't just going to throw it away intentionally unless the game is wrapped up or we need a breather - I am sure he puts some thought into it but often it's a 50/50 thing, same for the refs who are dedicated to watching the play - they get it wrong too

Didn’t say anything about taking the captaincy off him, although I’d like to think Dale would make better decisions on when to challenge. Wade wastes a lot very early on in the game or on stupid ones.

Also the above table you’re referring to is team captain challenges rather than Graham directly. Only 7 from this year of which we’ve won 3. Id guess a few of them were earlier in the season when Wade wasn’t playing. He has missed a lot of footy since captains challenge was introduced but I reckon he would be lucky to have a 20% success rate
