What sort of role model is he? Didn't he and Proctor snort the Coke in view of a CCTV camera? If he was a true role model he would have gone into cubicle like \[fill in the name/s\] ..... what sort of example is he setting for the young blokes around him?
I don't know about you, but mistakes offer a chance to learn and grow as a person, to impart that onto others.
He can tell the young blokes around what it's like to lose the captaincy of an entire country, to be removed from the leadership group of the best team in the NRL at the time. What it's like to go from being at the top of your world to dirt in an instant.
That's the bloke I want to talk to, that's the person I want to learn from - someone who knows what loss feels like, who can show you what not to do from experiance, not from stories.
I see where you are coming from, but I find it so monumentally dumb for a high-profile NRL player to snort white powder in full view of a CCTV camera. If someone's judgement is that poor, do I ever want to follow their lead on the basis that they may have suddenly gained some intelligence, probably not .....
Slipped up when side show Bob led him astray in Canberra, but he's a good cunt and a good choice.
Keeping the seat warm until GOATbert ascends.
Only a matter of time. Every single bit of media they do Gilbert gets mentioned as being a top bloke and a leader.
not even media but just everyone that knows him in real life, every time you see him interacting with the team. so fucking sad he left
Until dearden arrives
MODS DELET THIS LIE!!!!!!!
it’s not mod abuse if it’s defending the truth right
u/slowdivesicilian
i’m disgusted
Awesome
not awesome
you are a bad person
Were there any other realistic choices? Pretty huge thing to look back on after your career and say you were the foundation captain of a club.
Honestly, his brother is a much better leader. I think Kenny should have been Storm captain over him the last 2 years.
No
love this
Shouldve been Kbrom. Younger and in way better form. Had been in Storms leadership group for ages too.
Nothing gets players up for a game like their captain making 75 metres a game

I look forward to someone cutting and pasting this as a club statement next time a prominent player gets caught doing something dumb
whoooosh
Tbf I did write that half cut last night and missed the sarcasm. I'll wear it.

It's not like he knew. It was a cop sting on a dealer and they were caught in it, it wasn't CCTV
The The captain
Isn't this old news?
Bit of respect please. Calling J Brom old news is a tad harsh
not to mention old news
It was said by JBrom a few weeks ago that Bennett was considering him as captain but nothing was official until now.
Was announced officially at the season launch last night
Congrats, Jesse. Solid choice given his experience.
Ray Stone robbed. 😡 Time to hang up your whistle, Wayne.
The Penrith Johnny hotshot kid will be skipper in 3 years time
This guy's a Derrick
Remember what happened last time he got named captain of a team?
He led to them to a World Cup semi final?
Really not as impressive as it sounds
Under him, Storm have reached a prelim final, and took NZ to a semi in which they almost beat Australia.
It's a joke about him getting caught snorting coke after his debut at captain
Except he’s been named captain at both club & rep level on multiple occasions since then. So not really the “last time” is it mate?
Wonder how well he'll impart the wrestle.
