this one RE: Gallen captaining NSW...

Are they insane? What is this vital need within the NSWRL to feel like they can only give the captaincy to a player they feel will be around for a long time? I watch Cronulla games and I have to say, Gallen doesn't stand out as a leader at all! Thats not even taking into account his on AND off field problems! Look, just pick the best team available, and when you have the side together, pick the best player to lead the side. If it ends up being Robbie Farah, Michael Ennis, Jarryd Hayne....who ever, and they only play one game in the series...thats fine. Pick the best players and the best captain among them. Stop trying to forecast the future!
