I love how Bunniesman ACTUALLY gets offended by people laughing at this.

actually, i can see merit in this decision...

If the quintuplets share the job around each week, through the law of averages one of the captains could very well achieve what no souffs player has achieved since 'the wonder years' made it's debut...

...have a winning record as captain..

hindmarsh has cheated personally and maybe some of the directors at the storm tried to cheat none of the players were involved and its not even proven that we actually did 'cheat'
:lol: Of course not, thats why you played for no points all through 2010 and lost your awards (not to mention the fine).

Give Maguire some credit. It has taken the Independent Commission years to get up and running. He has got his commission up and running in no time!

Souths - the housing commission of the NRL!!

It's been done successfully by this coach at his previous club. I think he has a slightly better idea than you about what it takes to be successful in rugby league.
A serious question to you or anyone else that sees this as a good idea. How do you see having 5 captains in the team contributing to success? The players won't know who to listen to first and wouldn't it lessen the prestige of the captaincy? Surely field tactics and fitness would have contributed far more to Maguire's success in the past that 5 captains.

It's not that hard to understand. There won't be 5 captains on the field. There will be one. At Wigan they just called it a leadership group so I don't know why it suddenly came out here as being 5 captains. The players will listen to the one captain on the field, the ref will talk to the one captain on the field, if they win the final the captain that day will lift the trophy, just like O'Loughlin did for Wigan.

ha the same club with near 8 first grade players unavailable for selection put 50+ on your inept pieces of shit :lol::lol:

Does that mean that 7 first grade players were unavailable, or possibly 6 or maybe 5. Or does it mean that there were 8 players unavailable and all of them were nearly eligible to play first grade football?

Also once you score more than 50 are all additional points called plusses?

There is a leadership group in the club and each week a different player is nominated to be the Captain on game day

It's designed to involve more of the senior players in being the type of players the younger ones look up to and it's designed to give more responsibility to a wider pool of players

The logic is actually sound.

A leadership is fine but IMO having 5 captains diminishes the prestige of the position.

Apparantly not, he did the one thing in rugby league that guarantees failure. He joined 5(c)uff$. Drinking warm beer in the UK must have had a fairly negative effect on his brain.
