Congratulations Joel

[The Wheel]

Well done Joel Thompson on joining a great list of great Sea Eagle Captains!!!

 

[HappilyManly]

Wasn't Joel captain last year already 🙄

Congratulations on being appointed

 

[bob dylan]

Well deserved too.

He is a modern day BK, a different skill set but you get the idea.

 

[Sue]

Well deserved . Total professional. I think his elevation to captaincy may be vital in getting a win. He knows how to lift players.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Should of been Morgan "magic pudding" Boyle... what a travesty!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I congratulated him on Twitter and he responded saying he was stoked.

In another interesting response a Hull KR fan jumped into my convo and said how good he’ll look in their jersey in 2020, and he said “ not happening now probably staying where I am”.

Congratulations Joel, your performances on and off the field have been stellar this year!

Similar hairstyle too.

Excellent news.

Would love to see Joel going around for us again next year

 

[Bubbler]

Good to know we will have someone to put those “fakers” in their place next year.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Excellent choice as captain.
Looks like we'll have a few this week with special motivation to excel, even above what they all will have - Thommo as skipper, Waddell in the starting side, Garrick having his first go in his preferred centre spot.
We may go down but it won't be meekly!

Maybe that’s why we let go of Kelepi Tanginoa , throw more money at Joel

Congrats Joel 🙂

And the year after. Do a Joe Gulavao and become a mid-ranking Manly ‘near great’.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Nothing 'near' about it - each Manly grand final winner is great.
(The really good ones are all-time great or legend.)

Stoked if this comes to fruition. He’s been one of our best for the last 2 seasons and he plays and leads with real pride for the club. He’s a real Manly boy

 

[globaleagle]

Well done Joel. He's all class.

Nice to see he responds to fans on twitter even though he must be busy.

 

[ManEagle]

Being Captain, Should also make for some colourful exchanges with the refs.
Interesting entertainment, looks the footy will be rated R Thursday night
