He was brought over at 31, there's plenty of players who aren't good enough for Origin but are good SL players - Pat Richards???? And also he's the best SH in the league when fit.
And he'll be back in November!

if he's no good at 32 how do you explain the fact that we where 4th in the table before he got injured?

No. We have a TROLL (one of the dumbest to date) reeling in the gullible fishes.

Spot on. Why on Earth would you ever, ever bring a player over at 32?! I mean players of that age, are disgustingly past it. Oh hang on, who's this fella?

I agree basically, but the problem with a prop as skipper is that he isn't on the field for half the game. Whether that's a big enough 'but' to change things I dunno. Though, there's no reason to think Potter will just go along with Macca's last year decision on who will be captain.
Maybe Orford as vice captain and then they'll virtually share the job?

Langley is vice-captain and is usually on the pitch for 80 minutes.

I've seen him do it on quite a few occasions this season.
I'll trust Potter though, if he thinks Orford or Langley or someone else will do it better then so be it.

i was actually waiting for someone to bring up menzies.....manly legend,NSW legend,australia legend,top tryscorer in the australian game...
he earned and deserved the option to say you know what i'll go to england and carry on...and he's performed fantastically since arriving at bradford...he's a credit to the game and the ultimate RL pro.....so don't go campare matt orford with steve menzies.
if he comes back....i'll donate £20 to steve prescott's charity

I always got the impression Lynchy was to quiet and placid with his players. Not sure about anybody else but when I play, I usually respond better to a captain that barked instruction, so long as they led by example aswell. Lynch does lead by example, but I'm not sure if he has other attributes which make him captain material.

| Yeah but you thought England were going to win the world cup and had a forward pack that could live with their Ausie counterparts.

Fair enough.
You could be right, and if Potter thinks we need a change then that's fair enough.
