If Trent Barrett repeatedly resorted to the hair-dryer with senior players I don't recall it.

Just like you point out with Graham at the Bulldogs, who had previously captained Saints. So leadership within a playing group is as much to do with age and experience as it is "leadership ability". Which is why Thompson isn't captain yet.
That doesn't mean if Graham moved to another NRL club he couldn't do to his new team mates what he did during the playoffs. And doesn't mean that burns coming in to Saints doesn't mean he can't be part of the senior leadership team.
Barrett spoke his mind, just as Green did, and Wigan are missing now ...
