The leadership group under Bolts last year would have driven higher standards compared to previous years, they said as much in all the interviews. The next step in that evolution IMO is driving the younger players to strive and aspire to be leaders. Murph and Co. need to send messages, cryptically or otherwise, like "you want it? come and take it off me", "time to step up to the plate", etc. They need to foster a desire to replace them.
Simmo is a loved and respected player no doubt but he will not be around for much longer - Would have loved to see dual VCs in Doc and Cripps.
But I'm trusting the club with their internal knowledge is making the correct call at this stage of those players careers.
