Who should be given the vice capatains armband for 2010?
Just happy to be here
I'd say him too, but we need someone in the backline I think. Kinda balance it out. A forward and a back as the two captains. Maybe I'm just rambling. But since Sharpie is the forwards guy then out of the backs we have
9- Valentine (I don't think he'll leave)
10- ??
11- Drew/Cummins
12- JOC
13- Cross
14- Cummins/??
15- Sheps
Think I'd have to say Sheps out of all that...
A kick in this game is like a rather nasty alcoholic shooter, only as good as it's chaser...

...........waits for Burgs.....................
Plus if Sheps gets the VC then it could be an incentive for him to stay post-2010...
Why is it called an Captains armband? I've never understood why. They don't wear special armbands. Do they?

David Pockock needs to get it, with maybe Cross as well for the back line.
Again this year Cross is making his mark.
In Rugby365.com team of week nine:
13 - Ryan Cross (Western Force):
He is fast becoming the cement of the Force's backline. He is one of the most consistent of the Rugby League converts in Australia.
Simon Cron: “People talk about winning and losing all the time and they are critical, but there’s a process to get into and it’s the ability to stay present, do your job and execute skills under pressure.”
......... looks around for Burgs........
TEF are you asking a serious question? or are you looking for an argument?

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
Robyn: it's called a 'captain's armband' because in other sports, namely soccer, the captain does wear an armband so that the referee can spot him out of the melee!
Here's another variation on TEF's question...."Do we need to appoint a Vice Captain?" As long as the officials know who the on-field captain is (assuming the appointed captain has left the field) does it really matter?
CHEERLEADERS ROCK!!!
...Burgs.......
61 years between Grand SlamsWas the wait worth it - Ya betta baby
give it to sharpie and make david pocock the captain!....

BOKKE“Let me put it this way, A Springbok team contains Afrikaners, Englishmen, coloureds and blacks. It has parochial foes in Bulls, Sharks, Stormers, Cheetahs and Lions. It is a recipe for war! Yet in all the years of John Smit’s captaincy, there has never been one unhappy customer, not one voice of rebellion against his leadership. He is the glue that holds the Springboks together. The man is a legend!”- Jake White
For sure bam bam that way we can bloody him for the Wallabies!! Pocock for Wallabies captain 2011!!
Generally speaking you aren’t learning much if your lips are moving!!!
We need a VC in the thick of the play. Sheps at full back doesn't provide this...not to mention that he is never on field because he's always bloody injured so it'd be a useless appointment. I'd be inclined to say Pocock too.
