These two are probably the worst captains/Co Captain in bulldogs history.

What do they say out there to inspire their boys?

I can't remember the team playing this clueless under Graham, Ennis or Ryan.
Jackson is a leader, an exhausted one.

The other bloke likes to betray his mates and talk a lot.

Wondering if Thommo has the right stuff, we'll see how he goes when finishes his suspension, but he showed a bit last season. If he is stepping up and leading the pack, maybe sneak him in as co-captain for the rest of the season, and then captain in 2022.

Well no Piakura hurts... Fuck I wish we could have got John Bateman, he's a real leader and winner.

ennis was the last true leader at the club

honourable mentions to james graham and frank pritchard, but ennis used to do incredible on field things to get the boys going including his antics

unfortunately we swapped him for lichaa who was the dullest person of all time, cronulla went from wooden spooners to champions and we went from contending for titles to contending for wooden spoons

I don’t. I’m willing to bet we see the back of him before his contract ends too.

One of them tried to dummy and score himself and fully fucked it for flanno under the posts,he should be dropped for that alone hogs and showponies are not the go.if flanno scores there his confidence is up and then he lifts the team with him and who knows what happens fkn idiot

To much pressure for him trying to carry our dud pack, when that Klemmer style of play isn't his go... I don't expect him to hang around for his entire contract either

Adam Elliot his the line with pace, but he thinks he's way better than he actually is and it's a problem. Tbh Elliot and Jackson in the same team doesn't work as they are both on big money and stifle our backrow options in regards to development and interchange... One of them should be moved on

I don’t think there has been any real leadership at this club since Ennis left, don’t get me started on the board

A lot could see this. Why Baz talked him into staying we'll never know.

It's one or the other. And JJ was already signed till end of 2023. We had Doorey and Topine. Crazy retention.

Another Top 30 decision that hampers and blocks improvement.

Our leadership is a definite problem. Our senior players Jacko and Hoppa look like their best days are well and truly behind them and they look like they are entrenched in the losing mindset and just go about their job with no intensity. Yeah Jacko makes alot of tackles but we need more inspiration from our captain. We can offload Hoppa this year but are stuck with Jacko. I'd be willing to ship him out and pay some freight

Jeez I wish we could have got Dale Finucane back to the club and make him captain from day 1. He has that hard edge and intensity and coming from the Storm system would have been a great leader for us
