Benji should b the captain this season.Mbye isn’t guaranteed a spot in the 17.
I reckon Mbye is a walk up starter in the team. I could be wrong but I don't think so.

Super coach question. Who do you guys think will be your goal kicker this year. Doueihi kicked goals in the first games that I saw him play for Souths. Mbye kicked goals when he first came to your club. I have heard that Maguire plans to play Mbye hooker this year. If Doueihi gets the goal kicking duties he will probably be worth having in the team to begin with.
BTW I think Doueihi will make a good 5/8 for you guys nest year and beyond.
I also think Luciano Leilua will go well, but I think his future lies in the middle, but I hear that Maguire plans to play him on the edge.
I also think Joey Leilua is a very good pick up. On his day he is one of the most dangerous centres in the game.
Ooooh, I don't know if that's such a good idea.SMH said yesterday Douiehi will goal kick
I am glad we have Madge, but I can't help but think he did cost us dearly by persisting with Marsters for most of the year and we lost a few games because of his bad kicking? So it could be a very important decision.Ooooh, I don't know if that's such a good idea.
You see, willy old dog said that Douehi has the worst GK stats in the league. Allegedly. From what I've been told.
So, serious question . . . . who do we trust ?
Madge, an NRL winning first grade coach . . . OR willy old dog, a souffs fan ?
Willy does seem to know his stuff, ekspecially about souffs players. His views on recruitment decisions are simply pottery in motion. And he does like an emoji.
Madge needs to know about AD before he makes a mistake.

Most training pics seem to have BJ and Talau in the centre’s, so unless it’s just smoke and mirrors it looks like he’ll be playing 9
Just a season ending injury, not a career ending one!
But okay that's a bit harsh. What I then instead wish is that someone pulls his pants down and gives him a smack on the bum. In front of everyone on live TV. That would be funny

I think we all know he’s not up to it but most important I think he knows as well- so no problem there. But he’s gold for us.Is Brooks ready to take the captaincy? I prefer my captain to play halfback or 5/8.
Yes ..Either Madge didnt want the captain kicking or the captains didnt want the added responsibility ...or Marsters was the only one outside Benji and Mbye to want to kick or Masters may have said to Madge just one more week boss..or they only realised it would be an issue when it was too late .Either way yes it did cost us dearly.. ..Let’s hope AD can kick..Whose the captain whose the kicker? Good question...My prediction Mbye captain for the first bit and AD kicks ...if AD fails which isn’t likely Mbye kicks and hopefully by then ADs captain...From his interview re captaincy AD looks like he could be scary enough if needed but in a controlled way and as important he will set an example on the field with training etc From how I interpreted the interview he exudes authorityI am glad we have Madge, but I can't help but think he did cost us dearly by persisting with Marsters for most of the year and we lost a few games because of his bad kicking?

This young guy from Melbourne, Grant having a go at 9 - sounds like he could be over the top good ...If he is shit we’ve got a team!Most training pics seem to have BJ and Talau in the centre’s, so unless it’s just smoke and mirrors it looks like he’ll be playing 9

Yep, though who will be the kicker? We just got the team right and we give ours away.Have to agree. I thought Marsters confidence was shot early in the season and kicking just added to it. I really think his whole season was affected by the pressure of kicking goals...anyway, no longer our problem.
Thank mate. He is now in my supercoach team. His stats weren't very good last year, but I am hoping he will adapt to the fullback role and the kicking duties should add an extra 10 points or so on average. I would be more confident about him if he was playing 5/8. Some think that he is on overs, but I think he will develop into a very good 5/8 and you guys may have infact got yourselves a bargain at 625K a year over 4 years. He could even be future captain material.SMH said yesterday Douiehi will goal kick
Just looked at the stats BrotherJim, you are 100% correct.Douiehi kicked goals at 100% last season

I hope he, Mybe and every other player keeps on practicing their goal kicking because they, the team, are going to need it.
PS: I have always thought that any winger coming through the juniors has to practice their goal kicking just to make that difference needed to make the team e.g. Nofoaluma isn't a bad winger, is a good finisher, defence his very suspect, runs sideways too much but all would be forgiven if he kicked at 85% +
