Roosters captain for 2010

[Guest]

RC and others, Mason has publicly stated he is not interested in being captain and I don't think he'd make a good one if he doesn't want to be one in the first place.

I have no idea who should be captain but I think it will be Braith.

Thats BS, mason loves leadership roles and when i have asked him, he saod he would like nothing more than captaing the team, i am a great beleiver in letting the ball players(halves) worry about playing footy, esp young guys still honing their game, thats just me there have been many great halves as captains, i just prefer the member of the pack.

Agreed, Perrett would strongly be considered for captain.

Just as a side point, was it o'Meley who had the captaincy when Fitz and Anasta were out?

when fitzy and anasta were out last season (origin i think) O meley was Captain

Mate I saw the same interview, I guess he could have been Bull Shitting to the interviewer. But he sounded genuine at the time. Anyway you don't give something like the Roosters captaincy to someone unless they have earned it. And quite clearly Willie has not. There was a 6 week period where he started to put in 100% but then clocked off again for the final 3 games. It's unbelievable that any Roosters fan would want him anywhere near the captaincy imho.

He had a major falling out with freddy(like most)

The last 3 weeks he was started on the bench when the prvious weeks he had started, does the guy have to score every week???

he always seems top be the one making the last ditched tackle, in his limited time he makes more metres than the other blokes.

He is the only bloke that could lead this team out of the mire.

Mason has had a falling out with everyone who has coached him. Speaks volumes..

A bloke that chews up as much as the cap as Mason should at least put in 100% each week. Even when he put in a 100% over that 6 week period he was still only playing like a $250,000 per season player. He is well and truly past his best.

As for making more metres if you divide metres by minutes spent on the field
at 10 games to qualify

Metres per Minute
O'Meley 1.79
Myles 1.74
FPN 1.72
Shackleton 1.67
Mason 1.44
Fitzy 1.23
Friend 0.50

If I were to add Willies tackling or lack of it makes him look even worse

What is considered 100% for one player may not be considered 100% for another.

What do you consider "putting in 100%" is with willie, compared to what "putting in 100%" is for a player like Fitzgibbon.

Remember both are very different players and both play different roles in the team.

How do you guage if some one is putting in 100%, do we look at someone like finch who "put in 100%" but is not standing up when needed, or do we look at it as a player like Jaryd Hayne who will pick and choose when to inject themselves into a game ???

Saying someone needs to "put in 100%" is very subjective to the role that player has in the team and the role that they were employed for in the team.

Well running the ball up at full pelt would be a start.

What by comparing Mason with Fitzy and then Jarryd Hayne lol

What is he trying to say?

Is Mason like Hayne onlya forward?

[Guest]

I think what Muzz is trying to say is that you can not compare something like percentages of a players input.....

Everyone on these forums have opions of what they would like a certain player to put in, it doesnt mean that person is right or wrong, and you certainly can not compare this level between players, whom are in themselves, induviduals.......
