An Inspiring Leader

[Mark from Brisbane]

Leaders are special people.
Leaders dont stand back and tell people how to play or what to do. That is the job of the captain.

Leaders say "FOLLOW ME!"

Remember BK standing behind the line screaming at them, demanding the ball for the next hit up and smashing the opposing forwards then standing up and screaming at them " like that fellas"!!!

I think it has to be a forward, Myles was bought for that exact purpose but has been a dismal failure.

Let's hope Myles is better in 2017.

Let's hope Myles is better in 2017.

He would have to be back to his very best to take on the inspirational leader role.

He's capable, just not sure his heart is in the right place.

Retiring from origin would be a good start.

 

[The '47ers]

Retiring from origin would be a good start.

Can't see him getting picked next year so I'm guessing he'll "retire" from rep footy to fully focus on Manly blah blah blah. As a Qlder I don't want him picked lol

Jake will probably be the captain, but I think others like Darcy Lussick and Marty Taupau need to take on a leadership role. Something like that might cut some of the silliness out of their play and it might help them reach the level people have been expecting of them. And it might especially help Marty who has this annoying habit of getting suspended.....

Nate Myles may be a leader off the field, but he's too far past his best to be a leader on the field.

Myles has done nothing at NRL level for years. Yet 2016 accepted, he has consistently been one of the best forward leaders in origin. Can Bozo get him to pull his finger out and put his heart into week in week out footy? Make him the captain and make him accountable.

I see what you mean @Mark from Brisbane. Now Wiliame has left we really are lacking in leadership and inspiration. Could we get Hasson back?

 

[MadMarcus]

As for today's players who could play a BK type role, I would say Smith, Matt Scott, Thurston or Cronk would fit the bill - but none of them will leave their existing clubs.

Following big Donnies election yesterday I was thinking about how badly Manly needs an inspirational leader such as we had with Ben Kennedy, who took a team of young hopefuls and a couple of good first graders from also rans to Premiership contenders in just a few years.

The really concerning thing Mark is that you apparently consider a rancid, putty-faced mysoginistic bully boy, with a yellowed combover, an inspiring leader.

Next you'll be telling us that the likes of Jones, Hadley, Bolt and (Miranda) Devine are the voice of reason and that Mr Rabbit was a great PM.

 

[1969]

Don't loose faith guys, we still have Brown.

 

[ManlyMit]

Luke Lewis is looking elsewhere next season, could he be the old head we need or na???

Yep, he'd be one to go for!!

Not me mate, but for those redneck yanks he's obviously the messiah!!

BK one of best........ loved his passion. He had an impact on our team way beyond the years he played with us.

That's a relief!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

That's a relief!

I was simply using Big Donnie as an example of an inspiring leader, he's not inspirational to me in any way but he certainly inspired another 10 million rednecks to vote that didn't last time!!

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Got it.

 

[Ryan]

BK one of best........ loved his passion. He had an impact on our team way beyond the years he played with us.

It's because no matter what, he gave 110% every run, every tackle mate. He was most certainly on the bus with us becoming strong again. He may have been at Canberra & Newcastle, but when he was here, he was a 100% Sea Eagle, and that showed in his leadership, winning attitude and passion.

That's a far cry from these farkwits like Myles, Brown, Walker - who only really care about their pay cheque each fortnight.

Love it when people tell me "culture" is a falacy, and you wankers know who you are. All I have to do is provide this example:

+ Ben Kennedy: Manly legend (despite his origins)
+ Nate Myles: Absolute stain upon the jersey (despite his origins)

Credit where it's due. Hilary probably encouraged a few of them to vote this time around too!

LOL!!
