A question for you all..... : Sat Apr 03, 2010 11:41 am  

Is it time we looked at a different captain?

With the team looking so much better when Jermaine is on the field instead of Buster I think it's a question that's worth asking.

We look so much more dynamic and enthusiastic whilst Jermaine's playing, the fans feed off of it, which encourages the rest of the team.

Discuss

I agree to a point it seems to me that Danny Jones organises the team on the pitch, no need to change captain but I like to have seen Jamaine on the pitch longer especially as last night he was causing Sheffield problems.

Clearly Buster has his qualities I just prefer Jamaine in hooker role as it gives us more go forward.

I wouldn't know who was the best person to be captain, either of them two or anyone else..

Nor do I know why Wray was taken off however I do know that once he was taken off, we lost momentum and go forward.

One thing I would like to add - The kicking game from the Cougrrrs last night was pretty good - I would like to see a few more across the floor though - rather than the restart kicks straight into the hands of the best kick fielder on the pitch...

I know the Cougrrrs have a long way to go but based on the last couple of performances, I really believe they can claw those points back and compete to stay up.....

I really do believe...... Who's next?

I think Danny Jones would thrive off being made captain.

As GP has said, he already comes across as the natural leader of the team, as a good scrum half should.

I think Jermaine should be starting and playing 60 minutes per game if he's up to it stamina wise.

Which is why I've put the question out there, should we have a captain who's not even the best player in his position?

Some interesting points, but I firmly believe that Jermaine gets the best chance to play his game on the back of the great work done by Buster. Buster is a tackling machine and we would be a far poorer side without him.

I would not want to see Jermaine start; other sides would target him and he would tire, we simply would not get the best of his obvious abilities.

However, I would like to see him on for longer, even if that meant spelling buster with the second row/loose forward.

I'm very glad to say that I was proved wrong about Jermaine starting

I wonder if Barry will keep tinkering with the rotation times to keep other sides guessing?

Busters tackling at the ruck was awesome.

clearly stelf, you have very little understanding of the game,whilst i,am a great fan of jermaine, he is not without fault, both hookers bring great things to the game, to say one is better than the other is a matter of opinion and to say buster shouldn't be skipper, well, he never gives less than 100% in any game,and as given is all for cougars, even when he had a broken cheek bone, you said we score more points when jermaine is on pitch? watch mickys videos, dews, halifax

That's some first post!

Don't you think you're being a little presumptuous to question my knowledge of the game.

I've been watching Keighley for nearly 20 years and was a half decent centre in my youth until a knee injury wrecked my chances of taking it further.

As for watching Mickey' videos, I don't need to, I was there, like I have been for every League game this season, home and away.

Don't get me wrong, Buster has his qualities, especially in defence where I think he's outstanding.

This season though Jamaine has been in superb form. We look a completely different side when he's on the field, so much more dynamic, more of a threat in attack.

I threw this question out there for everyone to have a debate on it. No where have I said Buster shouldn't be captain, you've put 2+2 together and made 5. Yes I've said Danny Jones would make a great captain, because I've seen him show tremendous leadership skills whilst on the field
