Captain next week?

This is a no contest imo. Will be Jake. He is the VC and has worn the C before. Marked as the next man in line.
Lead us well young Jake!
 
Since when has any refs EVER listened to any Manly Captain? we don't have a crim Smith, so I rather have someone passionate leading the team, there is no one more Manly than our JT, the team would follow him to hell and back and then do it again just for the fact he was leading the charge. Even I'd follow him into the trenches if he asked!
Possibly today according to the penalty court.
 
Would be happy with Jurbo, he does need to be more diplomatic thought the refs though.

That said, Lyon wasn't exactly a master negotiator either.
 
Seriously, every one is over exaggerating the role. How hard is it to say to ref "whatever", "we miss the good old days when you guys were sponsored by OPSM, be cause you need a pair" rest of it is BS and time wasting to get the players a rest. Fair dinkum even I could do that?
 
Jake's Captaincy hasn't hurt his game

1. Jake Trbojevic (Manly Sea Eagles)
The heart and soul of Manly just keeps on delivering. Sea Eagles forward Jake Trbojevic has taken a significant and outright lead on 709 points - 46 clear of Fisher-Harris. Trbojevic is enjoying a slight career increase of 139 metres per game, while he's seemingly guaranteed for at least 40 tackles per game. Where some players struggle with negative play, defensively he's been sound with only seven missed tackles for the season. In his only downfall, he's lost points with eight penalties conceded in total.
 
I was super impressed with Jake’s captaincy last weekend. I can’t remember seeing the emotional outbursts that suggested he might not be ready. Awesome to see.
