But they havne't finalised the leadership group BJ so..................

Does anyone know enough about the real Lids to know how he feels about this though?

It's hard to tell from the public comments he makes because he will toe the company line.

Have to take him on face value TBR - I think you are wanting an issue to be there when there isn't one

No, not at all WP, I just think it is a risky time for the club with Deledio, and I can see how he might have a damaged ego in regards to this.

He was talked about several years ago as being a potential captain and now the direction has changed.

He already has the support of the defence force.

I suppose that's the difference TBR, I don't see it as a "risky time" regarding Deledio.

I don't think he is going anywhere, I am not worried about him going anywhere, I have always believeed and still do he will re-sign with the Tigers. So I don't think the vice captaincy or captaincy makes an iota of difference to be honest

I think Cotch must be elcapitano next year, I have said it before we need a 10 year Captain.

Interesting theory but Why??

Because then there can be no excuses.

I think if you look back at successful clubs and they were very stable with long term captains....Sticks, Woosha, Voss, the list goes on. I don't think we have had stability like that for a while, even Knights should have been appointed earlier for mine.......just my take on it.

Gee there's a new one smoke......yawn.....

Has Cotchin had a hip scrap which may limit his pre-season ?

[The Big Richo]

I also worry we have not looked outside the square for a Captain.

A young man who enjoys cheese toasties and randon anonymous violence against women isn't even considered and that is a great shame.

Just at LAX preparing for the long flight home. Was a good trip, hope we can come back nxt yr.

Taken from his twitter, really can't see him leaving pending disaster.
He loves it at Richmond and all the boys seem to love him as well and we are headed up at last it would appear.
