Dragons Captaincy :Poisoned Chalice

[RedV Resurgence]

Why is it that when one of our players get the captaincy, they soon after leave the club. Irrespective if thats a temporary assignment or a permanent assignment.

* Cameron McInness
* Garth Widdop
* Brett Morris (Tempt)
* Fizzell (Captain at 9's)


Starting to think we should make Norman captain this year.

Personally don’t think any of that group were strong captains or leaders anyway.

Don’t forget Creagh..

He never played 1st grade again after being our captain..

They all have one common denominator, Mary. Be it directly or indirectly Mary played a huge hand in all 4 leaving.

Yes he certainly left his mark that bloke . Put the club back 10 years and that is the mess that the incoming coach needs to clean up even before he is able to have the team playing in the manner of his making .

Totally agree Inosai-the Dragons are one of the quietest teams in the NRL when we're scored against. Widdop, Frizzell and McInnes are all exemplary players and clubmen, strong on perspiration but lacking in inspiration. I'm hoping we go hard for Brandon Smith who could develop into the "urger" we desperately need.

I’d love to put the club back 10 years.

Does that mean we have to go through the last 10 years again.?

 

[SBD82]

Does that mean we have to go through the last 10 years again.?

Yeah. But we go into it as premiers, and with zero expectations.

The curse needs to be broken. Who will it be?

 

[BLM01]

Great as long as there is no Price or Mary.
I will be happy with the 40 useless external reserve grade standard signings we made over that time to give em another shot.

 

[BLM01]

Give it Jesus (I mean Cody). He is an inspiration and a jack-in-the-box on field.

I reckon Lomax won’t be far off being captain. Personally this year I’d go Sims.

I like Sims too. Not sure why he has not come up often. Didn't he captain Newcastle?

Back when they won a few wooden spoons, yes...

 

[SaintPauli]

Yeah I know. I didn't want to mention that as it might start the wooden spoon curse lol.

Actually perhaps we have paved a path for Hooker & Captain, Cameron Smith?

go back a bit further and the curse continues,
Mark Gasnier.
Trent Barrett.
Craig Smith.
if only we had a Mark Coyne, Michael Beattie, Ben Hornby in the ranks.

 

[Old Timer]

You can't have players that are already in the eye of the ref and have sin bin issues. So no to Tariq.

You can't have players that drop their bundle when they make a mistake or do something dumb. So no to Hunt although I would probably throw him the keys to the place and say own it or f**k off.

If AM is coming then he is the most logical choice.

Old mother Hubbard I'm afraid.

IMO Ben Hunt will be one of 4 captains
along w Sims, Vaughan, Lomax
