captain : Fri Mar 06, 2009 11:31 pm  

Was sat in the family stand tonight with my 2 children , and after each try we conceded no one was listening to Rob parker.Body language of all the guys shows they are all well depleted at the moment.Feels like we have gone back in time to when john harvey was in charge To say we look unfit is an understatement!! well at least i got to the shop to get some cans to take home before it shut!! a visit to saints next week is not what the doctor ordered! think we should ask the rfl if we can have a bye next week does anyone know if saints scoreboard can read more than 100 points??

i feel sorry for rob parker, he's fighting a losing battle! whilst alker is still at the club he's still going to be looked at as the captain by the vast majority of the squad! For some reason parker is being made a scape goat by sections of the shed.

Parker should not have been given it to be honest as he is new to the team and the long serving people will see this as a slap, i,e littler , fitz, etc should have gone to one of the longer serving players.

parker isnt a bad player he gives his all he nothin special but he has heart.

good shout about parker.dont get me wrong , personally i think we need players like him at the club , but i wonder how we would have coped with the last 3 matches with alker still captain?? we still dont know what went on in jacksonville , and yet you get to know what any high profile footballer gets up to !

how many years has alker, littler and fitzy got left on their contracts?

Parker is captain? Bloody hell. You'd never have known it in the second half. He had given up.

Fair effort though, most had given up after your 2nd try on 8 minutes.

To be honest, I didn't see him saying much. It was Alker doing all the talking behind the sticks. He went berserk when they scored in the corner in the 2nd half.
