I'd like to hear him say he wishes he had the balls to challenge Turd at the time, that with the benefit of hindsight he thinks a captain needs to be more than just a whip cracker and... bleeding pin cushion for whatever the coach(es) are dispensing. Maintain discipline in front of the group by all means, but be a fully conscious "part of the processes" behind the scenes. Ah but some smarmy lawyer might suggest that could be accepting of some culpability.
"All it would have taken" to paraphrase their slogan of the time, was a deceptively simply worded question from Jobe about how he could inform himself of what they were being injected with at such an unusually high cadence. And if the response came back "never you mind", or "that's a trade secret", or "the Doc says it's all OK", or some such other obvious weasel wordings, let alone the complete and utter giveaway of "the same secret sauce we think the Cats and Pies were on, nudge nudge, wink wink, ask no more" well then you've got a $%&ing duty as captain, don't you?
Yeah I think you nailed it in your last sentence. I'll paraphrase old Gough and "maintain my disgust" until he actually comes clean.

mal-formed in numbers too big to ignore then Ka' boom. Personally I really hope it doesn't happen.
As for Hird I loathe him with a passion.
