New Penrith Captain

[Hurriflatch]

Whjat about Aaron Barba

what ever happened to him anyway wasn't he meant to be better then Preston

 

[sharkadelic]

Aaron Barba is with Broncos feeder club. Wing option that could score 146 tries a season but defended like Prestons runt brother.

I would back Priddis. Underrated and forgotten at Rep level. Leads by example. Big Tone spends too much time with doctors.

 

[Nuke]

From a neutral point of view, I would go with Luke Priddis. He has that captain-look about him. It's also logical to have someone who leads the team around the park (a half or hooker) as captain.

 

[Rammo]

Priddis has to get the gig now.

 

[dontmakemeangry]

i would like to see it go to Clinton, he needs something to fire him up and the captaincy could be just the tonic.

 

[sooperdooper]

it needs to go to a player who will be on the field regulary, i dont mean an 80 minute player but it cant be a player who is one for a week then out for fivr or six...
to me captaincy means alot to a club and an individual. need a player liked by the fans. i have come up with a list:
best candidate:
priddis
other candidates who have youth on there side for long term:
waterhouse
rooney
lewis
clinton

I don't think that Priddis sets a good "on-field" example,
Didn’t I hear on the Sunday Roast (correct me if I’m wrong) he is the most undisciplined player over the last three years, collecting the most penalties.

Perhaps assuming the captaincy will help to curb some of the recklessness in Priddis' game.

I also believe Big T would make a suitable captain, but it's important that the captain stays on the field as much as possible, therefore I would lean towards Priddis.

I can't see Clinton as an option - at this time anyway - though he would be in a senior role at this point so he could well develop into a potential leader in the future.

 

[Steel Dragon]

Clinton, to me, doesnt seem to be a guy who would stick with the panthers if there was money somewhere else.
I say the smart money is on Priddis.
I wouldnt mind seeing it go to 'House though.
Does anyone else think that it might be Priddis until all this sh!t dies down then revert back to Gower next year or something - or is gowie gone for good as skipper?

Priddis for mine, for a number of reasons...

Mainly though, because he's gonna go for 80 minutes in most games. He's also in and around the play and the ruck all the time. And he seems to have a bit of a brain on him.

Puletua, Waterhouse and some of the other names mentioned have merit, but they aren't playmakers and they aren't always gonna be on the ground for 80 minutes a match.

Bit like making Stevo the captain at the Sharks in the last few years of his career with us. Early on he went 80, but not later.

 

[Fibroman]

Priddis, due to the 80 minute factor.

they dont have to be a playmaker...
eg:
eels...cayless
cowboys...norton
storm...kearns was not sure who now.
roosters...ricko, now fitzy

 

[innsaneink]

Priddis doesnt seem to have such a good relationship with refs imo.....that could work against the Panthers as a whole, the captaincy could curb his play a bit and in fact tone him down, possibly be a negative...then again it could go the other way....who knows.
Darren Senter was hated by everyone, mainly refs....he got the (C) last year but he also had Sheens, a strict disciplinarian on his back....he managed to cut back the indiscretions without it affecting his play.

 

[Big Mick]

Priddis would be excellant.

He is a born leader....he plays at 150% and he is inspirational. You only have to watch the 2003 grand final to know what he can do...and also against the warriors in 2005.

He's a freak and when the big play needs to happen, its Priddis who steps up, thats why I would have him as captain.

:lol:

Nice one Quigs.

I prefer Warren Fenton!!

 

[steveshark]

Priddis, extra responsibility will also reduce the silly penalties he gives away. Should go well, will lead by example.
