New Skipper?

[Thryleon]

Perhaps Bolton has decided that Murphy is exactly the right person to lead the club back to where it should be.

I really struggle with the idea that Murphy is captain by default.  The night Ch 7 miked him up really showed how comfortable and effective he is in the role and how well his team mates responded to him.

I would have been very unhappy with Bolton if he had just gone along with the leadership structure put in place by the dickhead who was pretending to be our coach.  However, now that Bolton has had time to assess our leaders, I expect that Murphy will be provided with more support than he has enjoyed in the past.

Me too.

That being said there are multiple layers to reviewing this decision and making no changes.

1.  Encourage more leaders to put their hands up and lead.
2.  Take ownership of the club and its leadership ensuring that it looks like you really are in control.
3.  Placate the masses who might have been critical of murph's leadership in the past that we do in fact have the right man in the role.

There was nothing to lose by reviewing the captaincy and making no changes or even making changes.

There was by just going through the motions.
