Saint Toppy Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Hull are a bit late to the party with this one. Its been common in the NRL for years with clubs having a 'Leadership team'. They then name a 'club captain' but have different on field captains on match day. Holbrook used it at Saints when he took over though i'm not sure if Woolf has continued it or not.

redjonn Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Easier not to make a decision, no one gets upset at not being picked when they think they should be, eerrm - Decisive decision making it ain't.... Maybe SL should have had more than one CEO/ Elstone, in the same "decisive" decision making... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Well it's two more John. I was born to run a club like this. Number 1, I do not spook easily, and those who think I do, are wasting their time, with their surprise attacks.

Hela Wigmen Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 If you read what Brett Hodgson has said, he’s only added Marc Sneyd to this group, so Hull ran with two in 2020 and have added Sneyd because of his position onfield and will lead Hull around the park.

The Rocket Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 My take on this multiple Captain thing was that coaches expect more from the captain because of the honour of being given that role, so if you give it to 3 players, the coach likes to think that they he has got at least three players out there busting their gut that little bit more because they are the `Captain`. So at the end of the day it is just a way of extracting a little bit more from a couple more players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
langpark Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I have always hated the idea of "co-captains", which reminds me of the particpation award concept, which everyone gets, so nobody's feelings are hurt. It is now only a matter of time until teams start naming 17 captains in their matchday teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wigan won the Grand Final. I recall this being the beginning of the "leadership team" concept in SL. It's not exactly revolutionary and has been done afterwards by other clubs. If Hodgson thinks that's the way forward, let's see how it goes. Most places of work have leadership teams these days, why not one on the field?

PhilCarrington Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 It's always clear which one of the leadership group is the real captain when they get presented with the trophy. So we'll never know with Hull this year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
