Nothing stopping him from being the team captain... fronting the media, etc. during the week and leading them onto the field (albeit straight to the bench).I don't disagree BUT that said, he is the ONLY legit option for captain, therefore he needs to start.
The issue at this stage is we have no captains that are clear cut starters week in and week out. Boyd and Macca should be in reggies, Gillett sounds like he's on the cusp of retirement and Glenn has been surpassed by Fifi and probably TPJ. Milf is then the only senior left that has any sort of credibility as a captain.
In saying that I actually think TPJ's deficiencies in defence will see him start from the bench and come on with Offa as a high impact prop. This could see Glenn starting at left edge with the captaincy and Fifi shifted to his preferred right side.
8. Lodge
10. Haas
11. Fifi
12. Glenn (c)
13. Carrigan
14. Macca (sigh), Paix, Utility/outside back
15. Flegs, but I'm sure I'm forgetting someone
16. Offa
17. TPJ (can cover second row)
Offa, TPJ and Flegs could easily be the best bench rotation in the comp.... Offa and TPJ already were back in 2017/18 coming off the bench as a tandem.
