Thaiday acts like a goose and sometimes plays like one too, yes he should be using his experience and leading from the front, but it's not something he seems interested in doing lately. It's sort of expected now, there is a reason he was dropped from the origin side.
Whilst I agree to a point, milf is our chief pl
Milf tried hard all night, but I can imagine it's pretty hard to influence things when your captain is setting the example by throwing loose passes, knocking kicks into touch in our corners, refraining from tackling and carrying on like a 3yr old after every tackle.
Darius is expected to lead because he has the C against his name.

Whilst I agree to a point, Milford is the best payed player in our squad and our chief playmaker. Boyd (and all senior players really) has the responsibilty to make sure the team remains "up" for the contest. He also has responsibility to set the tempo of play, and along with milf, the hooker, and knik, to know when to chance the proverbial arm.
Milford is the bloke they all look to in attack, he has right to the ball wherever and whenever he needs it. Along with that goes the responsibility to see sets finished, one way or another.
He is a brilliant attacking individual, but it must go further than that. He needs to be more than just a supplicant to supporting players receiving his pass. He has the authority to direct play. No one else does or should.
Knik, hunt, thaiday intentionsare subservient to his calls and his direction. When he takes this role on, the team will prosper no end. That's what I mean when I talk about leadership.
At the moment thaiday does his thing, when he wants, hunt, his thing, and knik plays what's in front of him. None have directed how the broncos play. Its great when attacking play is called for, but a nightmare when a settler set is required, be it for a tired defence or the need for some territory. .. In one call milf can change what his team does: an early kick when under pressure, or a run at the line to give momentum. He has the power, he needs to learn to use it, and communicate his intentions and the role of those around him.
He may not be comfortable doing it, and an ash Taylor or Brodie croft better at it, but if he doesnt, no one else will.
