Opinion The Next Captain

I believe the time is right for Pendles to pass on the captaincy to the next generation of leaders.

Up until now, I have supported Adams as the next in line. I wouldn’t be unhappy with that decision, however I think we should go another way.

Brodie Grundy.

Yes, he’s been in a funk lately. I believe this is what he needs to realise his potential as the number one ruck in the league. I think he would make an outstanding captain. I would also like to see Moore as the VC.

What do you think?

Has to be Taylor Adams for mine
 
I’d like Darcy Moore to be the next captain.
 
Darcy is to me by far the most obvious candidate. Stands head and shoulders above the next candidates ie. Adams & then Grundy.

He is articulate and inspiring in the way he plays. His injury history and struggles would keep him grounded and make him more relatable.
 
I’m guessing Pendles will go around again.

Macrae has said that Pendles has the right to decide. Might provide a bit of stability in a club that’s been otherwise in upheaval. Pendles will probably relish the challenge of being a leader of a young developing team. Gives others another year to sharpen their leadership skills.

Pendles then stand down as captain end of 2022.
 
Adams wears his ❤ on his sleeve.. and that's great.. but it seems to linger for a while.. has a tendency of giving away tmi.. I don't mind it a bit from time to time.. sometimes it's the antidote we need.. but when it becomes capricious.. even though it's bona fide.. it can come across as a bit of a cacophony maudlin and obfuscate.. not really mellifluous.. and a lil too lurid.

And then there's issues with form and injuries.

Right hand man.. yes. Captain.. no.

Moore is my guy. I love what he does on and off the field. Adams and Grundy would be the vice-captains in my little dream world. Roughead, Maynard, Howe and Sidebottom round out the leadership group (no real need for Pendlebury to be in it officially, once he relinquishes it).

Co-captains anyone for a transitional period? There is some talk that Grundy is a bit self-centered so maybe that would change this.

You'll probably find.. having co-captains will result in a shit load of non sequiturs. Might obfuscate the group. Personally I think a Moore Grundy Sidebottom type suits the role.. we need someone with a good level of equanimity.. not someone who's fastidious. The Fly Leppa and Bolts.. and the playing group.. might go with one of our neophytes.. so you never know.

Steele Sidebottom (SSB) for a year as we did with Scott Burns (SSB).

Then Darcy Moore.
1 Flag under Darcy, then hand the mantle to Nick Daicos for the next 3 (4some)

Yeah I reckon that Adams is the fastidious type.

I agree. He is the player that could have the biggest impact on others around the club.

A lot of the best leaders in life are not the ones who want to be, but the ones who have it thrust upon them. Too often the ones who want to be leader are not the best for the job

I like moore too but he is not as durable and doesnt play the right position to influence the game off his own boot
 
Moore for me.
Think Tay is maybe two seasons from feeling the squeeze from the underlings.

Especially if his disposal doesn’t tidy up.
Sure he cracks in but he ain’t super quick, is a turnover merchant and just feel the new crop we have will in time start to take the reigns.

Moore would be ideal if he can keep on the park.
Was pretty good the last year and a bit too his last injury.
