TPJ all the way.

 

[Foordy]

easy TPJ or Lodge.

I think the the captaincy would do TPJ the world of good since his head space has dramatically improved this year under the guidance of Petero. he could go to another level with the added responsibility

 

[I bleed Maroon]

TPJ or Lodge. **** what the ***** on 360 think about it.

 

[BroncsFan]

It'll be TPJ... he stood up and took over the captaincy when Carrigan went off and in doing so actually asked a legitimate question to the ref.... from memory he deflected the question away because he got the call wrong in the first place

 

[Foordy]

TPJ or Lodge. **** what the ***** on 360 think about it.

you know what ... if they're going to be salty about it, it just further proves that either of those two would be the right choice

 

[broncsgoat]

Has to be TPJ.

 

[Fozz]

TPJ for mine. Guy has been all effort this season, he's proven he's got his head in the right space after last season.

 

[mrslong]

All in on TPJ. Matt Lodge can be shot into the sun as far as captaincy is concerned.

 

[Nashy]

TPJ claimed it on field so I think anyone who wants it needs to fight him for it.

Can we get a '**** yeah!' emoji please?

It’ll be nice to have a captain actually talk to the referee now. Problem for either is I don’t see the refs taking them seriously and will probably use anything they say as a reason to penalise us to the end of the earth and then get them fined for good measure

 

[Renegade]

TPJ. I liked his short stint as captain, challenged the ref without being disrespectful.

 

[Galah]

Tpj, he’s really stepping up.

That's true, though for me I think TPJ presents the opportunity to have a captain who is more passionate then the recent choices(no disrespect to Carrigan or younger players who have been thrown into the role almost by no choice). Glenn and Boyd failed to lead by example be it through their words or their actions, TPJ for me presents an opportunity for someone who has hunger to lead by example through his actions and that can be infectious. Little things like how he saved two certain tries from being scored, big hits in defence and taking the ball up add up.

TPJ was rallying the troops in the huddles and barking orders to players. Looked like a real captain. I mean we went on to lose a game we should have won so maybe he barked the wrong orders but it was still good to see.

 

[Foordy]

it would be some remarkable turn around for TPJ at this club ... going from on the verge of being sacked to captain in less than 12 months
