Looks like the 5 captain's will take turns on captaining 1 game each this season and the other 4 will sit in reserves. 😛

The tigers seemed to have taken the whole "leadership group" approach and translated it into being captains. Pretty sure that is not how it works
My understanding is that if this doesn’t work out, they’re looking at 17 captains. If that fails, then the full first grade squad.

Genius really. Why did Des not think of this?;)

Let’s all have a chew!
I wonder if they will put those C badges on their jerseys like they do in NFL?
 
I thought last year’s captain would’ve been promoted to Major.
Then can come the captains & others come in as 1st & 2nd Lieutenants.

Wests Tigers have gone back to the future by naming five captains.

The Tigers on Tuesday announced James Tamou would be joined by Adam Doueihi, Luke Brooks, Ken Maumalo and new recruit Tyrone Peachey in their leadership group.

Tamou told the Herald on the weekend he was happy to walk away from the top job and let somebody younger and who will be at the club longer take the reins.
Coach Michael Maguire opted for the same model used by former coach Ivan Cleary when he was at the club and appointed Benji Marshall, Elijah Taylor, Chris Lawrence, Russell Packer and Josh Reynolds to the top role.

The Tigers have used six different skippers in the past five seasons. The new leaders were voted for by the players during a recent training camp on the Central Coast.

Most assumed Doueihi would be given the nod, given he is the best player at the club and already gone public with his hopes of one day captaining the club. The only issue with Doueihi is he will not return until midway through the year because of a knee injury.

The Tigers announcement comes a day after Newcastle confirmed Jayden Brailey and Kalyn Ponga would share the captaincy at the Knights.

Tigers CEO Justin Pascoe said: “On behalf of everyone at Wests Tigers, I would like to congratulate the five players on their appointment to the club’s leadership group ahead of the 2022 season.

“It’s great to have a group that consist of players in different stages of their careers, and I look forward to working closely with this group over the coming year.”

I agree it is all a bit silly but I think there are probably two things at play here.

1.Doeihi is out half the season, I think if he wasnt injured there would be every chance that he is the sole captain.
2.From the few eps of the Tigers doco I saw it seemed a dressing room lacking strong voices and leaders. This I guess is a way of the club trying to manufacture that and embolden a few players.
Could that have been done through a leadership group though.......probably.
