fair enough gang....i think public perceptions are important and i think it was a factor but hey, what does it matter what any of us think.just my opinion is all...
TBH i think race has absolutely nothing to do with thaiday being captain. I think thaiday is more 'media friendly' than Parker and I think thaiday said I want the captaincy or I will look around at my options. I really think it is no coincidence that the announcement of him as captain and him signing a new contract came at the same time.
I would have liked even Wallace as Captain although I expect no agreement on that.
I can't believe how many meters we let them have and how little our forwards gained. Our missed tackle count was high and our defence line didn't move up at all. They would make 10 meters before even hitting our line, then they would walk another 5-15 meters before we pulled them down. Terrible lazy defence, terrible missed tackle count and terrible amount of errors. We've always had a problem with moving up off our line in defence though.
