Great choice! One captain instead of 5 as well is even better.

Nothing against Api - just always feels weird to me when first season players get made captain. In any sport.

 

[upthetigers]

I expected Joffa to be made captain but this is great news nonetheless.

3x premiership winner as captain. A no brainer.

Wonder where this leaves Douhie though.

He's a winner. He will be on the park most of the game. Makes sense

 

[aturkey]

Best player we have is our captain.

Yeah I agree.... Not against it, I guess he's had most / half the off season to earn it

Needs to concentrate on owning a position in the team. Pronably best he concentrates on himself.

We keep making guys captain who have barely been at the club. Since Woods, our captains have been Packer, Mbye and Tamou. Then there were the times when we had 5 captains, some of whom included Reynolds and Maumalo in their first seasons. Surely there's someone at the club who has been here a couple of years who can lead.

Probably not the first thing I'd look for in a (C)

 

[Halbrowne61]

Have they named a vc as yet ?

 

[Winston Churchill]

Correct

 

[KingRobbie]

Have they named a vc as yet ?

Doesn’t seem like it.

Great choice. Has a confident and calm demeanour. He’ll need those skills to Captain this club.

Obviously the coaching staff don’t think so.
I know what you mean about imports as captain, but when you pull together good buys from various clubs they have to all feel comfortable with their captain, and API fits the bill.
Premiership winner, SOO, International , certainly gives him the cred.
Douhei is really being challenged to earn his stripes, let’s hope he is shitty but uses that anger in a way that helps the team and himself.

 

[jrtiger]

the right choice.

This was a response to Luke Brooks no1 fan.

Good call .

 

[happy_tiger]

How stupid ...1 team captain ...you need at least 9 team captains

 

[Shooter Mcgavin]

- Plays big minutes
- Selection in team unquestionable
- Position in team unquestionable
- Is signed beyond next year

Definitely some upside here
