Message: [QUOTE="WASSHHH, post: 2930989, member: 9424"] I’m sure some will disagree, and that’s OK. I’m sure some will say I’m throwing the baby out with the bath water, that’s OK too. So let me preface this with the following: Hodges came back arguably a better player, at least a reinvented player, that was equally as dangerous as before and a more passionate and selfless player and leader when made captain after numerous hamstring complaints. So with that in mind, the most glaringly awful thing to come from tonight’s game was the continued performance of our captain. To label him a passenger is an overstatement, he’s nothing more than a bystander simply loitering around out the back, masquerading as a Broncos captain. I don’t care what anyone says; he brings nothing in attack, less in defence and the worst possible attitude that can do nothing other than, subconsciously at the very least, have a negative effect on the rest of the team. Waving arms about; never, and I mean never, running hard; wasting time playing for a penalty; not running as a support player, and; standing around watching opposition players while the play unfolds in front of him. The bloke can’t even execute the one play he was renowned for. While he remains captain, we will continue to crumble under any sort of pressure more often than not. What’s the solution? Don’t drop him as captain, drop him from the team altogether. And he can take Thaiday with him too - he plays the first 15 seconds and then comes back on for the final 10 seconds only to then stand around telling jokes, with a big smile on his face, to all his mates on the opposition. He didn’t have a great game, but look how dirty Bird was after the game - at least he cares. Anyway, we all know neither will be dropped. So we just have to continue watching these has-beens hold back the development of some of our young potential stars. And that right there is the real shame, they’ve both been at the very top of their respective positions, but aren’t even a shadow of their former selves nowadays. Boy I hope they prove me wrong soon though! [/QUOTE]
