That's his game, doesn't men he has to be burdened with the captaincy?
His efforts would work to inspire the lads to put their bodies on the line and step it up.
He’s a very aggressive player/person and that would rub off on the group and put a dent in the general cowardice and apathy of the recent past.
Gang of five:
Tamou: won’t be able to play a full 40. A half captain at best.
Doogie: back in June when the season will be over. He can’t be yelling out to the players from the stands.
Ken: needs to fix his own game, let alone assess others.
Peach: let go for being a slacker and we make him captain at the first opportunity?
Brooksy: um, let’s not go there…
The engine won’t start so Madge is busy replacing the windscreen wipers!
What did Twally and Steffy our Origin hero do to be overlooked? On merit, both should figure in leadership.
Laurie had a white hot go before injury and Nofo has about the longest contract of any player alive. At worst Daine should have been offered something to keep him here.
Lucy was a card carrying Madge man. No reward for his stout loyalty during the recent troubles.
Our blokes are a pretty sensitive lot, there was major insurrection last year. Many feelings will be hurt by this frolic, the team therapist will be our busiest staff member.
The camp may be more divided than ever.
No good comes from perceived favouritism.
Besides that, our unwitting and surprised gang of five captains can barely understand and execute a basic game plan as it is, let alone take on the burden of leadership.
