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 .

He created 4 of our 5 tries as well as the 40/20. It always amazes me how every bad defeat is millers fault. When he's ripping it up at cas next season, perhaps those who don't watch the game properly might realise their error

Why? What's your evidence?

Miller’s game has probably suffered because of the extra responsibility that comes with Captaincy.

a 40/20 that led to the first try and all 4 tries he created.

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

watch the replay. 40/20 and either the pass or kick he delivered created all 4 of our tries.

Given that we only scored 4 tries that is quite a statement.
He had no involvement in Hood's try and Walker provided the kick for Tanginoa.
The official stats give him 2 assists .. along with the 40/20, 5 missed tackles, 2 errors and 16 carries averaging 2 metres per carry.

That’s all well and good but when the capitulation starts where is he? First one to have his head down and hands on the hips behind the posts. Proper captain material.

I know he has the class and ability to create play but he's inconsistent.
The main issue is his captaincy.
You're obviously a Miller fan, so you must know that he doesn't remonstrate with the players after tries have been scored, there is no dialogue. A captain's job is not just leading the team out - he has to lift his players and get into them but I see no sign of that. That's what I'm getting at.

My eyes.

He doesn't motivate, or rally. His general attitude. He doesn't inspire.
Not saying he's a bad player, or a bad person, he's just not a Captain.

depends how you look at it, in my mind I don't expect our play makers to be at the brunt of the tacking why would they as they have enough in getting the plays working on attack, I'm not condoning missed tackles or even saying they do none at all but generally it takes its toll to the player tackling the bigger lads
hence the saying play makers working behind the pack
