Johns was selected as Australian captain after the retirement of Brad Fittler. Lockyer got it by default.
Lockyer should not even be in the team, on form Anasta should be the Aus 5/8.
If it was anyone else then Bennett as coach i reckon Lockyer would be under pressure to perform.
Lockyer can't defend we all know that, but he does have a good attacking game. But with Johns at half you don't need Lockyer...Johns sh*t's on Lockyer in every aspect of the game especially attack. A running 5/8th would compliment Johns much better and the Johns / Anasta combo went guns....they set up countless tries.
we are not comparing players on talent and performance....we all know Johns is the best. That is a non issue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is about captaincy!
The best player doesnt always get the captaincy!
On the 1994 Roo tour Daley was the best...he was also the winner of 3 straight blues campaigns as captain, but that didnt mean he instantly replaced Mal Meninga did it?
anasta in the team? what 2 good games at 5/8 makeup for the last 4 yrs of drivel he has displayed..talk about a fairweathered fan!
Your sickening bias to the Mr Injured is sickening...seriously sickening.
Dont blame lockyer that he stays on the field almost every game. Something Johns has failed to do the last 5 yrs.
Majority of knights fans are as thick as a big brother contestant
