If only Toov's could still strap on a boot.
It's a good point. Without Jamie in the team we are reasonably leaderless, but to me we need that forward leader that inspires the hit ups. And yes that prototype for me is Ben Kennedy.
I've seen enough Jake T to believe he could be that guy (in the future), he already seems like a real organizing and get up and go forward, but we need that BK style leader that the forwards hop in line behind.
Ben Kennedy, along with the great things he did in his 2 years for the Eagles, was a part of the biggest loss in our club's history, the 68-8 loss to the Sharks in 2005.
But he was also a part of this -
Gabriel Landeskog was named Colorado Avalanches captain in front of Hall of Famers in Jarome Iginla and others, and has been one of the best captains I have seen.
He was 17 - 18 years old.
The reason he was a leader because he was mature beyond his years, had the capacity to rally his players in the darkest periods of the game, and bleeds the jersey.
I see why no reason, given some character advice from some appropriate mentors, he couldnt be given the responsibility now.
It would also show appreciation of our local talent.
Pretty sure Landeskog has been captain there for a few years ,this was Iginla's first season with them.
I had him in my fantasy team this year ,He had a good year with close to 60 points.
2015 - year of the HabsYup, and youngest ever captain to boot. Avs came 3rd overall the year he was named. Can't see why we can't replicate that with Jake. The issue is you kind of need a players who's on the field for most of the game.
2015 - year of the Habs
We lead the comp last year and injuries at the end denied us in the finals2V doesn't' t need a boot to be a leader. He just needs the ability. Its one thing to lead from the front, another to lead from the bleachers. Maybe he just doesn't have it in him.
We lead the comp last year and injuries at the end denied us in the finals
2013 we were robbed in the grand final against the roosters in a controversial game in which there were many contentious decisions made by incompetent referees Hayne and Cummins,
2013 in his first year as coach after the dramatic exit by Hasler and board room dramas and disharmony the club came to within one game of the grand final but lost to Melbourne.
This year he has the worst injury toll and the worst pack of forwards in the nrl to work with .
Maybe you have no idea what you are talking about
