The Courier Mail's Chris Honnery asks Ben Ikin why Alex Glenn, and not say, Matt Lodge?

“He’s a terrific player. He consistently delivers. He’s highly respected by all his teammates. He speaks well, leads well, plays well. He’s a good human being. It’s a really clever choice. I’m a huge Darius Boyd fan. If they were going to shift away from him, Alex Glenn was the best choice. The fascinating thing in this, I don’t think you can talk about the leadership succession at the Broncos as seamless. It’s been a really lumpy journey. It looked like he was entertaining deals elsewhere including the Penrith Panthers but if a week is a long time in rugby league, then what happens in 12 months is incredible. However they got there, I think they’ve made the right decision in the end. Sometimes it’s not about how you get there, but about making the right decision in the end.”

“Darius did a terrific job as captain over the last 12 months in challenging times. But one thing I saw throughout the year was that for whatever reason there was a lot of external noise and pressure around Darius. Darius is a legend of our club and a legend of our game … and I just wanted to take some of those commitments away. He doesn’t need to do all the external things that a club captain has to do.”
