I don't think Brett's situation counts against him.  One would expect an elder brother to look out for a younger one in some regards and when the whole case goes pear-shaped and Brett is vindicated, there'll be plenty of sympathy for both. 

As usual you miss the point.

If Stewart Jr goes to court in say May, won't Stewart Sr. have his mind on other things, and by extension he will not be able to keep a low profile and support his brother as he will be getting hammered by the media to keep the story simmering.

I'd have no problem with King as captain - he was probably our 2nd best prop last year after George Rose. The problem is the man hasn't played a full season of Rugby League - ever - as far as I can tell.

When you play the game as hard and tough as Kingy it is impossible to last a season without major injury. 

He could sit back like orford or Tony Williams and do nothing and collect his cheque each week but instead he rolls his sleeves up and gets stuck into it and puts his his body on the line week after week.

Kingy is the man to captain and lead us into battle in 2010.

I certainly hope you are right for once.
