I always thought co-captains should have a limited capacity of two.

I think the same really for ‘next door but one’ maybe could in an emergency be stretched to next door but two but never next door but five or more.

Looks like real problems at the Tigers already given their lacklustre performance last week.

The coach can usually rely on the captain to lead by example, i.e. to give that little bit extra due the honour of being captain. I think this notion of giving it to five players is a ham-fisted way of trying to exhort more from those players, Maguire probably thinks at least I will have at least five blokes having a real go if I make them all captain. Clutching at straws if you ask me from a coach who can`t seem to inspire his group.

Agreed @The Rocket. This multi captain approach does nothing for me. A captain and vice captain, one from forward and one from the backs for me

Maybe this is why they have a trainer camped out behind the line constantly when they have the ball . By god he irritated me this morning ! I must have dreamt the new protocols around them loitering on the pitch 

[THE RED ROOSTER]

Crisis over, they looked the business against admittedly a Roosters side shorn of key players, today in the Trial game at Gosford promoting the ball well in conditions resembling a monsoon.

Equally Benji is back art the club in a no-playing role so I can resume my fandom of a player when he represented Wests and SGI was one of the few I would pay money to watch.

The Sharks have taken a similar step with their logo. Removing the text Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks and leaving the emblem on it's own. It does present cleaner than with the text.

I love the new logo . 

Also love the new titans logo .

The new Titans logo is poor. For starters it's blue not gold. Being blue it is lost in the jersey. Fans want a big focus on gold, we are the GOLD Coast. We suffered a few jerseys that were dominated not just by blue but dark blue. Being on the border, we also suffer the QLD v NSW dynamic. We have both fanbases. But making it blue is the wrong way. It looks a lot better swapped out to gold colour. There needs to be a balance between light blue. gold and white.

Hopefully the club works that out and changes it. The Broncos did after bringing in a horrendous blue horse mascot in 2000. Now it is Maroon. They also tried to force blue into their club colours during that period.

It would be lovely if clubs wouldn't follow marketing trends so easily.

Im with you on that diehard. Cheap cash grab. How many times have teams like roosters and bunnies changed their logos and basic colours/shirt designs in over 100 years.

What needed changing was the outcome of games…they are well on the way to doing that so trying to cash in on improved results by these changes is crass.

I've said it before but this year it is really biting hard. When the old Magpies had no money - in calendar years starting with a 1 - we had a couple of old hands and a team full of teenagers got a chance to sell themselves to richer clubs by performing onfield. Not a great recipe for decades of glory but a realistic model for a club with no money. But now ...we're up against teams spending $10million/year on players and ... oh, hang on, we're also spending $10million/year on players. How? The simple average of 10mil divided by 30 players comes out to over $300K/year. How many of these players would get $300K at any other NRL club? Leilua probably, Kelma Tuilagi. But they're both going next year.

We've had Liddle on the books now since 2017 and he's played 4 or 5 games this year so he's probably due for his annual season-ending injury. I'm sure Maumalo only played on the weekend because Daine Laurie got Covid at the last minute. He could barely run and, if he wasn't injured, then that was one of the worst performances I've ever seen by a professional RL player. I don't know where James Roberts is and I don't care.

This week we only had 1 player in our NSW Cup team who's ever played NRL and I can't even remember who it was so he obviously made a huge impression. Basically, those losers who collected their cheques on the weekend at Cronulla are what we've got.

As a Wests fan I try to stay optimistic - I keep reminding myself that I'm 67 so I won't have to live too much longer.

Bad news farmduck…average life expectancy is 83 so you can expect 16 more years of it

Just finished watching a tape of the game and I am trying to recall a more woeful performance in the NRL. The Sharks were pretty poor in a lot of aspects so one wonders how it would have ended it they hadn't had the error rate they had. Not sure how Maguire still has a job because his team clearly aren't interested in playing for him.
