From that (admittedly very short) clip they put out, Ash seemed much more comfortable speaking infront of the entire squad.

A good move IMO, a leader in the forwards and the backs.

Let all the doubters keep doubting and those who believe keep believing.

We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in.

But you’ve got to keep believing.

Wasn't Rohan Smith's change to "no specific captain" at the start of 2023 mostly just a way of getting around Leeming who he didn't rate as a player never mind captain?

The big plus for me is that it’s an indication of less game time for Cam Smith. Arthur is in the best place to judge who the players will respect and listen to so I’ve no strong feelings on the appointments.

I'm not sure bout that, whatever your thoughts on RS he wasn't shy about getting rid of players

My belief is that Smith thought just stripping the captaincy from Leeming and giving it to someone else would cause problems within the squad. So he went with the fudge solution before giving it solely to Cam Smith once Leeming was gone.

Might mean Arthur wants Smith to play shorter minutes with more impact or just seeing how it goes until next year

I think that's the case. Smith is one of the most skillful forwards in the league, those skills are wasted if he's having to make 40+ tackles a game.

Might give O'Connor more time at LF too.

With more forwards we will have the chance to rest and rotate more so Smith might not need to play 80mins every game and top the tackle count.

Great move by the club this no two players are more deserving of leading our team. The argument that Cam doesn't spray the team on the field is so lazy.
