Wigan Warriors to use 'five captains' in Super League
By Aimee Lewis



The group will share the captain's off-the-field duties and community work
Wigan Warriors have decided that five heads are better than one after announcing they will have a "leadership team" of five captains this season.

Sean O'Loughlin, captain for the past four years, is a member of the group.

The other leaders will be named before the Warriors' opening game of the 2010 Super League season on 5 February.

Former Huddersfield captain Chris Thorman told BBC Sport the decision was a "good idea", particularly because of O'Loughlin's recent injury problems.

for me its a yes. good idea.

time will tell though.

lol

Do they decide who is the Captain for the match and then go with that, or have a board meeting about every decision?

Yes thanks, the tinsel tampons came in handy.

And you ?

whats the problem with just having a Captain and a vice Captain in the squad, makes perfect sense to me...........or perhaps I'm just old fashioned and not up todate with the modern game down here in yawnion land.

[cheesybunnet]

it certainly anticipates injuries etc, suspensions or even being dropped for whatever reason.

i would have thought there would be a sort of hierarchy within the 5. they will know themselves who is the heid bummer, as it were.


excellant xmas phooey, was expecting a slow bingo season what with the uk vacationers being a bit pink lint, but they were here spending the giros like there was no tomorrow.

gotta love that brittle cold weather too, apparently the pensioners are getting a cheeky wee cold weather bonus...so im looking forward to relieving them of it before the summer

A captain will be announced for each match. There will only be one captain on match day. I didn't like it at first, but it's growing on me a bit. Mind you, Icouldn't see Faz accepting that in his day. It would be interesting to hear his opinion.

You wouldn't be able to understand him now, what with that plum in his gob.

He'll be back - not as a player, but RL will feel his presence again I believe.
