Asiata as captain and Rapana as vice for me, whoever is chosen it's good to see so many leaders in the team, it will do the young lads the world of good.

Id be fine with that , No hiding place for any slackers next season .

I'd go with this. We've actually managed to recruit a good experienced leadership group over the last year.

I'd agree with this. Asiata will be a great leader. We've not really had that since Ellis.

2013 to 2017 - Gareth Ellis
2018 to 2021 - Danny Houghton
2021 - Danny Houghton, Scott Taylor, Marc Sneyd
2022 - Luke Gale
2023 - Carlos Tuimavave
2024 - Danny Houghton

Houghton popular with his team mates without a doubt but for me never really an onfield leader. Carlos perhaps too quiet for the role, Gale well enough said.

Agree, Asiata and Rapana will command respect from the rest of the team, set the tone from the off and give someone a mouth full if needed. It's refreshing to see so many strong personalities in the squad and it not being left to one or 2 people.
