[QUOTE="Patchey, post: 661210, member: 61403"] Pleased by this. I think it really is just for this season and Chris will be captain again after the RWC, but still its potentially a great move. Marler is going to be at the club for a good few years to come, he's already at the heart of the team and as pointed out he's put the hot headedness of his first season behind him. Captaincy should, I hope, lead to him growing as a player and leader. He's also actually not a surprising a choice as you might think. Brown and Care are a bit too lary to captain, Nev and Easter would maybe be safer options but they've both at a stage where they can't be expected to play every week if we want to keep them fit and firing. After them there aren't that many others, are other experienced guys are either a bit injury prone or wingers (not a position you can play as captain from that easily IMO). Everyone else is either way too young and inexperienced or don't stand out as a leader like Marler does. So while its a bit of a shock Joe is actually not that surprising when you think about who we have. [/QUOTE]
