Captain for 2023 : Tue Feb 07, 2023 2:17 pm  
There isn't going to be one

RS has said there will not be an official captain it will basically be on a game by game basis!

I love that our coach is thinking outside the box and bringing new ideas to the game, Im not sure they will all work but it sure beats being boring!

Ridiculous decision if so. Not a fan at all of this……

It's basically how Smith has run the captaincy since he joined as Leeming was injured for a chunk of it.

Why's that a ridiculous decision? Captain is largely a token coin tossing job in RL. Leadership should come through a group of senior players with the younger end also having a voice. Do try and resist the urge to go full "Corporal Jones" before a competitive ball has even been kicked.

This sounds almost as good as the passive defensive line strategy, where we move up in almost slow motion so there’s no gaps :wink:

The man’s so innovative.

Sinfield and Farrell were very very rare talents.

Preseason defeat to hkr and a few are getting all twitchy. Smith has been transformative since he's arrived and the club will only progress with him in charge.
