LIfe after our "big 3" retire

[EagleRock40]

From 2017, I'd have Jake as captain. DCE does not need the added pressure to go with the big $$$ we are paying him. As for a leadership group not year - Jake, Matai (hopefully still playing) DCE, Lussick & Buhrer.

DCE needs to own this team

I know this...but I think for now its best to just let him play footy and get back to the form he showed before he was signed for the big $$$

I think your hope is very much in vain!!

He's going to be around, and making decisions until either the Penns sell / NRL takes over OR he dies.

Although I agree, the young ones won't look up to him so he is going to lack allies for a short while BUT you can bet he'll pick his favourites, get into their ears and promise them the world if they align with him, its the nature of the man, he can never really say goodbye, its the only thing he has in his life and he's going to stick to it as long as the sandwiches and pies keep coming.

Option 3! Option 3!

Dce is not a mans man, he has got footy skills but not captain material.
Leaders will always appear, just like Jake.
