well done jammer well deserved, just go and get the job done.

Was Graham nominated as vice captain originally, because if it was someone else then surely they aren't going to be too happy at being overlooked.

Also who will be captain whilst Graham is off the pitch?

James Roby is assistant captain now.

Seems a decent choice, only other person I would have looked at would have been Ellis.

I assume Graham was assistant before being promoted?

No. The Saints element of the touring party is obviously top dog this year now those pesky Rhinos are in limited numbers.

Jammer is apparently charging them all to eat in the canteen, taking half of their touring expenses at training and charging the rest of the team a protection fee to keep them safe.

Obviously Roby and Shenton are benefitting by being his assistants.

One wonders if the Wigan players will act in a similarly childish manner?

He would have been my second choice, behind Ellis.

Garry Schofield just can't help himself and should have his internet disconnected.

Graham could turn out to be a really decent Captain. he might be lots of things to lots of people but he's definately a leader.

I'd of thought Ellis and/or O'Loughlin were going to be ahead of JG for the captaincy. Still see how he fares.

Still, there's always the 2011/12/14/15/16/17...... Four Nations to look forward too

Ellis and O'L are probably considered to be more senior but neither of them are what you would call inspirational. Graham will do OK and whether we win or lose he'll lead from the front and gibve a few a kick up the arris.

The worst aspect of all this is that YOU are being serious and not taking the mick!!!!

So now PLAYERS are to be the people who control the game!!!

Don't you learn something every day

Graham seems to be a little petulant and shouty with referees (even if the mistakes are obvious, they won't reverse decisions).

I would have gone for O'Loughlin, but perhaps McNamara was looking for someone who was a guaranteed starter, not saying the GF winning skipper isn't gonna play, just that Graham definitely will.

Garry Schofield is a twit.
