Once this news reaches him, it will be tremendously hard for him to pick up the pieces for today's game. THe man is going through a sensitive patch right now and you go and do this to him. Thoughtless and heartless. 😀

Or maybe he will be so fired up he 'leads' Penrith to victory, which might be the effect Cleary and Gould were looking for.

In the short term it's not a good move.

I remember when the captaincy was taken off Beaver but from memory he was in favour of the decision. Lewis seems shattered to have lost it.

Nonetheless Kingston must show impressive leadership skills behind the scenes for Cleary to come to this decision.
