Quote: josefw "And the club has explained it's self about the winding up order and after last time I've no reason not to believe them. I personally think the main reason for failure this year was down to recruitment, losing arguably the best Fullback in the championship and replacing him with Mathers is an obvious example and that can only be down to one man... Green should probably take a little criticism for not getting rid of him sooner.
On the captain front there's only one really viable contender in Wellam, as others have said Sidlow seems a bit too quiet. I've not seen enough a Chisholm to know if he's captain material or not. Another option could be to maybe go with a leadership team rather than a captain?'"
To be fair, I think Brett Kearney [who was our last quality FB] had made up his mind to return to Aus after 2014, so I doubt there was much that could be done about that.
We didn't bring in a decent fullback for 2015, so after a season of using anybody and everybody [I think only Ryan Shaw ever pretended to be a proper full back].
In terms of someone making a decision and being 'blamed', then bringing in Richie Mathers is on another level, and though it clearly failed, I confess I could see the idea of a leader, maybe past his best, organising from the back, almost like a captain...so to speak.
