Two things I have thought about since hearing...

[R Man]

Firstly.. will the rotation policy of captains now be abolished...?

For me.. I think 8 months (which is what it is after getting it in Feb til September) is not nearly enough to show your credentials and gather respect amongst the team, coaching staff and fans.

I think Kosi should be our captain, permanently.. I know there'll be those who say he is too often injured.. but he is a general on the field, is used in the spine and is loved and respected by all.. He can grow to become StKilda's Kernahan if he gets his body right..

and the other one I had from left field... would it be such a bad thing if Blighty realised that he needed to have a decent crack this time at coaching the Saints for obviously less money than originally.. I think Blighty has never recovered from that incident and his legacy would be much improved if he were to come back and take the Premiership while coaching the Saints second time round... It's worth perhaps thinking about.. He is after all a mastermind of the game, his credentials are sensational as a coach/ player..

Since Watson, I've been really skeptical about unfounded coaches who haven't done it at senior level jumping into it..

I agree with some of what you said. I wouldn't mind seeing Kosi captain next year because it could really make him as a player and be the catalyst for him realising his potential. However, I also think that it could do the same for Riewodlt and just about make him Carey-like.

With Macolm Blight I think that he was stung and embarrassed by what he did and that he would like the chance to redeem himself, but, still I'd rather not have him as coach and I suggest there's players that would prefer not to have him.

everyne will choose reiwoldt to be captn.....very bad choice....

he is not captn material....superstar yes....general no



Lenny Hayes aura and leadership on the field is second to none....he is the man to lead into battle. I couldnt give a stuff about that off field media ****....thats not where we benefit....on the field is where we benefit.



but typical stkilda will undoubtbly go for riewoldt...

Hayes or Goddard...

Hayes would have been my choice if he had not been coming off a knee reco. I think they should give it to Riewodlt in this case and let him grow into the role and hopefully become Carey-like.
