Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 3127028, member: 8988"] Sorry, I meant to finish it but I was interrupted by some hungry cats and pushed send by mistake. Id only say to finish that Bennet when asked about the importance of a good coach or captain stated that a good captain was far more important. It was said by him in relation to langer but I believe he reiterated it for locker. I believe it's true and it corresponds pretty well with both our downward slide and our lack of premierships. I believe in the long wrong both carrigan and croft will be exactly those types of leaders but right now they don't have the authority or wisdom to achieve what past captains have done. If we could somehow lash out and buy a coydner or his ilk, with both the prestige and leadership this team needs, it might go a long way to fixing our problems. I can see why we persisted with the captains we have. If glenn could stay on the field and lend authority to croft it might work too. Darius, in form was the right choice but can't lead when you are out of form yourself and struggling for selection. This more so than anything else puts a line through most of the team. I think it's also important that we have leadership in both attack and defence. Hence, the co-captaincy of croft and carrigan. The problem is their age, youth and their newness to the team. It's something that might right itself by next year, but I shudder to think what it might do to the young players to have a season like the last two rounds. [/QUOTE]
