Message: [QUOTE="NSW stables, post: 3111330, member: 10150"] Highlights do not make a captain. Roberts has highlights, important plays etc. But i would not have him as a captain. I would argue that webcke was one of our best recent forward leaders (had locky not been around, would possibly have been captain). He does not have highlight reels dedicated to him, was not a known offloader, not a regular big hitter but he was a good leader because he put his hand up and did the hard work, took the hard runs, did the 1 percenters etc. These are traits people are seeing in carrigan. Your captain does not necessarily have to be your best or most experienced player (i.e. boyd cordner for roosters, nsw and now australia). I dont think anyone has said carrigan should be the fulltime captain now. Glenn is a deserved captain. After two years when glenn retires i think we may see a co-captaincy of carrigan and croft (if they are progressing and performing as hoped). By this time they will both have more nrl experience in broncos colours. For those saying he started the fight in a trial, he had a team mate on his back tussling with 2 opponents standing over him. I would have an issue with a captain not going in to defend/support his team mate. What i did like though after the incident was his interaction with the referee. He did not shout or talk over the ref, he was respectful, listened and then said his piece as to why he acted. These respectful interactions will enable him to develop a positive rapport with refs which should work to our benefit in the long term (have a look how cameron smith interacted with refs a few years back and look at the shit the storm get away with now). I think carrigan is in the broncs long term plans, he would not be in the leadership team if he were not. I think ofa will go before him. [/QUOTE]
