Radders is one of the most professional players in SL and will accept whatever decision is made. FWIW Radford does do the charitible local work etc and spend time with the younger players to give them advice etc which has been highlighted as a good thing that Fitz brings.
I still find it really funny that Radders has been named at 13 but playing as a 3rd prop for the last year or so and gets the stick that he does. The stick for his performances as well as FC having 2 really poor years have suddenly made him the worst captain and worst player in FCs history. I think context needs to be put around the job that Radders has done, both on and off the pitch.

I like Radford and, as you do, think he has come in for some unfair flakk. However, I believe, from what I have seen since he has been captain, we have had a lack of motivational leadership on the park - sometimes, quietly leading by example is not enough. I believe Fitz is not only the best man available to us but that he is one of the best leaders on an RL pitch in the world: I don't believe Radders is rubbish just that Fitz is better. |

I agree entirely. I do also think that from a motivational leader on the pitch perspective it shouldnt just be the captain that does this, where have all the other senior players been that are meant to lead by example? Since Cooke, Kearney and Swain went we've not really had that big presence imo.

The squad has previously been described as 'quiet' which I think backs up what you say. Even Swain was a (superb) lead by example man. We have lacked characters and organisers, let's hope this year's recruitment has addressed that. |

I cant argue with the decision if it is that Long is given the role. Likewise Fitz would do a great job. At the same time, if Radders keeps it i wouldnt complain with the characters he now has around him.

If this turns out to be true that's fine by me. He will be at the centre of everything anyway and it may act as further incentive for his own performances. Fitz will lead the forwards and do it well.

I've said all along it should be Longy for captain - it's no good, you won't sway me.

I'd be surprised at Long being made captain. He says in his book that he likes leading the team on the pitch and lifting trophies but doesn't enjoy the off field activities involved in captaincy. Perhaps Fitzgibbon or Radford will be "club captain" and Long "team captain".
