Message: [QUOTE="Huge, post: 2555257, member: 1992"] Well I was dead set chuffed to see Thaiday stripped of the captaincy. I said ,at the time he was chosen for the role that he was a very poor choice. I believed then as I do now that he was picked more for the pr side of things. I thought it was to demonstrate the inclusiveness of the club, its contemporaneity. I thought it was very similar to how most organisations these day when selecting staff will pick a less qualified female over better qualified males simply to boost numbers of women in the workforce. That is not a slight on women rather an indictment of policy. Thaiday offered nothing as captain as he hadn't earned the right and was a good but infrequent contributor. No doubt his skill but major doubt about the other important aspects of captaincy. His game last year against Newcastle at Suncorp was absolutely abysmal and I'm certain it sealed his fate. Not only was he ineffective but his discipline was atrocious conceding penalty after penalty until sent off. I have always maintained Parker offered much more but dare I say it, he is Caucasian ( in a long line of them for the Broncos ) and he is hardly a media darling. I don't give a shit about race or gender, I simply hate jobs being awarded on any other basis than ' the best person for the job '. [/QUOTE]
