[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 996785, member: 73144"] As I said in reply to Olyy, Captain, 10 and kicker is a hell of an ask at any time. On the pitch he’s hotheaded when calm heads are often needed and his dealings with the ref aren’t great. I think he’s good sticking to a plan, but less convinced about him adapting on the hoof and if things aren’t going his way he tries to take on the world by himself. The captain needs to have more of a cold headed detachment. He’s also a Saracen. It’s not impossible that some other players will carry a lingering resentment towards them and be unable to separate club / player or take the view that the players were complicit in the cheating. Probably a small risk, but something to be considered. I love what he brings and would have him starting at 10. But I’d much prefer the captain to be in the pack somewhere. [/QUOTE]
