What's everyone's opinion of him now? Looks like a season too many for him looking at his performance last night

one season to far indeed......get rid along with mills and you'll save a small fortune...

I thought he made the team have a better strength at 13

Not as good as he has been, but i think we need his leadership at the moment.

i don't think he's been the same since his knee injury, but you probably would'nt find a better proffesional and his ability as captain is unquestionable.

he doesnt seem to be able to shake this knee injury off, id sooner have seen him in the 2nd row running out wide last night rather than loose man.

Still think he's giving us good leadership and he works very hard indeed. Was asked to do a different role last night but with almost 4 props on the pitch at the start of the game we should have been much more in control! Newton should take control of the captaincy if you ask me. He is a terrific player that should get into any SL side and wouldn't struggle getting an NRL club if he wanted to go back. With Galea due back I think we will start to get a bit more structure and a second phase with any luck!

Not doing enough as capitano for me, but he's an aussie so he'll be fine in the eyes of justino!!!!

Just trundling the ball in and dying with it. No attempt at an offload, no aggression and no quick play the ball. Never thought I'd say it but I'd much rather have cuscak in my side than vella. He's very predictable and easy to defend against

You are talking rubbish.....as usual. You are a wind up merchant-simple as.

finished

not the player he was , looked off the pace to me ,lazy defence 3rd man in the tackle

Will become one of the best in the league

has had his day. is this the last year of his contract? would have thought he will be on his way. will be one of rovers top earners too
