Dan Neil was made our captain this season and he has taken to that role like a natural, which was actually the advice he was given by Michael Proctor in terms of this new role. He was instructed to just keep doing what he was doing prior to receiving the armband.
BIG ROLE
“I've took it out of my mind now. I think you have to, if I keep dwelling on stuff like that and if I go into the game thinking about that, it's only going to be bad for me because I'm going to be thinking about a mistake that I've made in that game. We're going to treat it like any other game. We're going to go there and try and take three points from them.”
NOT THINKING ABOUT IT
“To be honest, I think I've probably done it by not thinking about it as much. Yeah, maybe. I think I spoke to Proc (Michael Proctor) about it and he said a good thing. He said we picked you to be captain because of what you do naturally."
KEY ADVICE
“So stop thinking about it. That was the one bit of advice that kind of got us back to not thinking about it. I just try to do things naturally. I'm not a massive shout-run baller. I look at the game in a different way. There's other lads on the team that do that. I've said in many interviews that it's not just about me being captain."
SQUAD FULL OF LEADERS
“We've got a really good leadership group and we've got lads that are growing into leaders every single week. And it's about all of us coming together and leading the team.”
