Don't the players vote on who they want as captain? With the coaches and board having to ratify their decision?

Holy cow! What a turnaround. As inspiration as Luke's been, after all that's happened to Roughy, he'd take it to another level this year.

For those of you questioning Roughy's fitness, I saw him training with the main group on three separate occasions last year whilst undergoing treatment. Didn't miss a beat. If it wasn't for the fact that I knew about his ailment you wouldn't have thought he had any fitness issues. I am convinced that his previous conditioning & the fact that he was able to maintain a decent level of fitness throughout his journey will put him in great stead for 2017. He ain't bullshitting. He'll play & it won't be just to inspire or make up the numbers.
