Jacob Miller : Sat Jul 09, 2022 5:45 pm  

I am not normally one for singling out players for criticism but I thought he was really poor today apart from the 40 20. I have never thought he was really captain material.. He doesn't appear to show leadership when we go behind. For me we should let him go . We should be trying to keep players like Batch who always give 100 percent and despite his stupidity today we need to keep Fifita and stop wasting money on over 30s players who have been rejected by other clubs .

Pity you did not say that to Chester a few year ago

The owners need to publicly call him out - he’s been getting away with being a poor captain for far too long.

Couldn't agree more, when is he going.

We may stand a chance of beating the Dingles again when he goes over there.

Can take his idiotic mate with him too and save us a bit of brass

In order to do that we would have to be in the same competition , next season highly likely we will not be

Any body who says Miller was poor and fifita wants keeping I'm sorry their clueless a leader the chap isn't follow his example and you follow him over the cliff 20points to 4 in front a minute from the interval he gets sinnbinned toulouse score and every one knew what was going to happen a complete disgrace in the second half

Re: Jacob Miller : Sat Jul 09, 2022 8:16 pm  

As a player he’s made some meaningful contributions over the years but must go down as one of the worst captains for me.

Although we don’t know the dynamics, listening to many of this current squad in the press/on podcasts had built a pretty clear picture. The vibe from within the group that we lost a real leader in the dressing room when Kirmond moved on. Liam Kay also touched on some members of the current squad not knowing what the Cas fixture means to the club and the fans. Pretty damning.

It was a missed opportunity with Miller’s Covid disciplinary breaches to not make the change and give this group a shake up then.

I’d like to see the captaincy moved on with a mind on next season - should we manage to get out of this mess and start a rebuild. Let Miller concentrate on his rugby and battle it out with Lino, Walker & Gaskell for the halves spots without that burden till the end of the season.

Least dave was trying yes he had a brain fart but had he been on pitch for first 10 of the secind half we would of still lost and if you think any different then your clueless 1 body doesnt and shouldnt make that much a difference but the other 12 just gave up rather than fight

Re: Jacob Miller : Sun Jul 10, 2022 7:21 am  

I'm not going to knock Fifita for one mistake yesterday - which may or may not have made a difference to the score, although he would have had to make one hell of a contribution to prevent what happened, had he stayed on the field!
Generally he's been a strong contributor during his time at Trinity. How many games has he helped us win?
The bloke tries, which is more than can be said for a lot of them.
Back to subject, there must be someone in the team more vocal and with more vitality than Miller! I'd seek that person out and relieve Miller of the Captaincy now, because we need that leader on the field NOW not next season!
