I can't believe what I'm reading here. Sure, as I have said many times Johnson is a crap captain and an ordinary footballer at best and should fall on his sword but Richo as captain???
Thats just like going from the frying pan into a another frying pan.
Yes, Richo did show guts and determination and played very well in difficult circumstances but we all know when things don't go his way the toys start flying everywhere. At times he probably has the worst body language I have seen from a tiger footballer. C'mon We've all seen his tanties when his leads aren't honoured. He can be quite the undisciplined footballer. A good Captain needs to be Disciplined, composed and calculating in all situations. I'm a firm believer that we need to recruit a quality leader but I am also a realist and doubt that this will happen in the current climate.
Therefore from the players we have I think there are only two at this stage that are ready to go as captain, Troy Simmonds and Chris Newman with Troy being my preferred pick. He's experienced, reads the game well, leads by example and has more than once turned the tide of a game single handedly. Newman also reads the game well but he is more tradesman-like and does the 1%'ers all game but its Troy's matchwinning potential that gets him over the line.
I don't doubt for a second that Richo bleeds yellow and black but this alone does not justify in my mind that he would make a good captain.
