Bizarre decision IMO. Wellens is a player who could easily find himself out of the side altogether if a fullback who can catch, tackle and run is found. Wello in a world class team with strike players all over the place was a great comfort blanket, in the current team with it's sub-par players he's found wanting.
I guess this decision would also tell us how the negotiations with Jammer are going. If he's not the Captain it can only be because he's headed for the NRL.
I don't think it means jammer is going if wello is made club captain, I can't see how that would have any bearing on it at all.
Wello has been captain before, he's our most experienced player and is highly respected by all at the club.
Jammer is still young and still needs to mature that little bit more before he IMO should be captain. It would be good to give him the vice captain and grow into the job for when the time is right.
Royce was in one of the rugby papers saying that jammer has not yet made his mind up and he thinks he will stay because he loves the club. He also said they will sit down with him soon.
The best players don't always make the best captains. In rugby league a captain needs to lead his team, be a good example, know when and how to talk certain players.
