That’s the thing though Marly, It will only be an L for him if he kicks stones and drops his bottom lip and if he does that then it was definitely the right call to remove him from the captaincy. We all know he needs to pull his finger out and start playing some football, he’s just got one less thing to focus on now.
The usual shit will start after our first loss but we are on the right path as a club.

Think I might be getting my first bro crush since Baa .. [emoji848]
All I'll say is I've never seen another player babied as much as he has been, club has gone above an beyond with him and tried various approaches to fire him up. Most other players do not get this opportunity.
Luke Brooks and the tigers say hi.
Be thankful we aren’t going that far down the road with him. I understand your frustration with Burton but I understand why it’s played out this long with him.
Just on Brooks I reckon he kills it at Manly....but yes, Tigers and Brooks should've separated years ago, both he and the club would've benefited.Luke Brooks and the tigers say hi.
Everything is a stepping stone towards future sustained success, some were bought just to fill a short term gap, some to inspire and show our juniors what hard work & real training looks like, some were just initially bought to start the ball rolling and attract other players, maybe even coaches, some were mistakes, some to show others how winners prepare and continue being winners … I see a bigger picture and a long term plan.Luke Brooks and the tigers say hi.

staggering leadership void last year. Making Crichton captain for ‘24 is a smart move. Allowing Mahoney and Burton to develop their game without the additional baggage and commitments that comes with the “C” is even better.
@telegraph_sport
Based on talking at training as the only aptitude test how’s he missed out
They probably were considered along with others but the cream came to the top.
I think Preston is still two to three years away from captaincy. I’m hoping Critta just sets the standards and absolutely brings the whole team morale up
And critta has signed for 4 years. Of course there are all of the qualities he brings to the role with his wealth of experience and profesionalism, but its also a good way of keeping him around for the long haul. He could be a 10 year captain for us.
yep I can see why Cameron wanted Critta and luai if landed him. Because they have been through it all for the last 4 years in the top grade. What I hope this does for this season is elevate kikau back to his form of recent years. Been really scared in how he really hasn’t put in the love for the club. I understand he isn’t much of a talker but I hope it changes
