Quote bewareshadows="bewareshadows"It's Royce's job to find that general in someone, who can control the game when we are 2points ahead with 20mins to go and call the plays needed for that extra try. Once we are confident we can hold a lead, in a tight game, then we will be more likely not to have such tight games.'"
I seem to remember the Wigoons had this very similar scenario about 5 years ago no communication and trying to bring younger players through. They ended up with Shirley as captain but took another 2 seasons for him to be the "general in the team".
Who could we nominate as the leader in our team to step up onto the plate, I can,t think of one single player at the moment to provide any inspiration, experience to boss the team across the park...............this is our biggest concern at the moment and not the coach.
How many inspirational captains have we had outside the pack, can't think of any. Could Wellens do the job by moving into the pack so that he can boss it from the "engine room", because he has having little effect of captain leadership from an isolated full back position.
