I come on here and have friendly banter with the knights supporters about who should captain and here you are acting like a f**king absolute hero.

Really I wonder what some of the people who have posted have thought about your so called friendly banter :roll:

with you? i am not friendly as you are a nark and i dont agree with anything you say

The fact is, Lockyer may have the (C) next to his name, but someone else will be driving the boys on the field, and doing all the communicating.

And I don't call telling certain people to kill themselves as "friendly banter"

He will have the C because Bennett is there, plain and simple.

Lead by example, what a load of crap. I'd say that every player in the Australian team will be putting in a good performance(except Carroll and Berrigan), so will they all be leading by example?

tiger i dont read half the stuff you post as you have NFI.

He will have a C next to his name as he has won lost one test in 8 games and his 5 star performance in the final was the clincher.
Sorry Magic boy, Johns cant have everything his OWN way.
Carroll was great as lock for australia. those comments prove you dont watch the games closely enough.
Berrigan, granted i dont think should have been centre....see i am not soooo one eyed am i?

Carrol was great in the final, yes, but in the first three games he was useless.

Unlike you, I don't mind if Johns becomes captain or not. My point is, he would be a better captain than Lockyer.

Even if he is not the official captain, he will be forced to act as one to make up for Lockyer's incapability of communicating.

Someone needs to talk and organise for Lockyer. Lately it has been Kimmorley, in the future it will be Johns.

My case.

IF Johns had captained australia for 10-11 times and then was injured for a yr and came back then i would EXPECT johns to captain. I would not care less.
FACT of the matter is :
Johns has only captained australia twice and then went down with injury. In that time Lockyer has been the leader for 2 overseas roo tours and has been succesful. Johns has been out of the game for too long, and doesnt have the games left in him that Lockyer does.
In all australian teams there is not just ONE talker. In yrs past (like 1994) we have had Ricky Stuart, Daley, Meninga, Lazarus in the australia team at one time and ALL have been talkers, but Mal was the captain.
Lockyer is not a mute who just stands in the background and doesnt say a word. Sure, he made not have the fiery personality like a Tallis, Lewis or Johns, but that doesnt make him ANY LESS worthy as captain of the OZ league team.

I agree he should be captain for those reasons, however what I am saying is that Johns is a better captain figure. I think it would be nice to see Johns as captain, however I won't be complaining if Lockyer is.

I think Johns is a better captain than Lockyer, but I won't be worried if Lockyer gets it.

I could have been the captain and aus would be able to beat GB.

Johns is a better player and talker.... why shouldnt he have the big C next to his name?
