Who should be AB captain?

Scooter is Ross Taylor. Where’s our Baz?
Ross Taylor was pretty much always either clearly the best player or 2nd best player in the team - and all time top 3 batsman, which I guess equates to all time top 3 forward?
Zero questions about his spot as a starter.
Averaged more i.e. played better as captain.Scooter isn't quite Lee Germon, but he's no Ross Taylor.

Scooter was our best lock in 2023 and easily in our top 3 most important players.

Well that was 2 years ago.
I think there are people who would say he's not top 3 locks at the moment. Im sitting on the fence there myself.

Vaa'i is not a definite starter for me. He can be a bit of a flake defensively. He missed 5 tackles this weekend and there was that try set up by Matera off the back was it?
Controversial I realise but I actually think our best two locks are Holland and Tuipulotu. Not sure about Vaa'i at 6 either due to his defensive flakiness.

Darry is another solid performer

Another who seems to be getting better and better the less he’s available…..
I’m a fan and our only real impact lock right now.

No, I think it is clear now we don't need any more Scottish players in the ABs....

While being captain is no doubt a huge honour, you wonder if SB is enjoying it.
If not, would he be big enough to go to Razor and ask him to pass it on, by the same.token, is Razor man enough to take it away in hopes it inspires him to the form he was in when he wasn't captain?
I'm gonna guess no for both, but who knows

For once I agree 100% with you. Finlay Christie is hardly a fair swap for Sean Lineen, the Leslies, Metcalfe, Maitland etc.

Maitland was pretty good. Not sure I remember the other ones.
