Men of League- Captains Captain

[Brendan_B]

The latest fundraiser by the Men of League, "The Captain's Captain".

12 Kangaroo captains nominated;

Lockyer
Lewis
Smith
Barnes
Meninga
Krilich
Churchill
McKivat
Walsh
Langlands
Beetson
Fittler

I love these initiatives, great cause to. Just like the magnificent 7 last year how good would a limited edition set of signature cards be for this? Obviously several candidates have passed but foil signatures could work.

All proceeds to Men of League

That's a great line up for a signature series. Pity they didn't do a set for the magnificent 7's. That would have been awesome as well.

If we knew who the ESP / TLA troll was we could tag them...

I don't want a cut, just a free set would suffice!!

For me I can't go past Langlands as the Captains / Captain.

But I remember enjoying being able to not hate Lewis a couple of times a year when he lead by example (and elbow) when he was Captain.

I actually told Wally one day I only thought he played 3 good games a year and luckily for me they were all for Australia

Langlands on was the bench for the team of the centenary.

Lewis (24 as captain including WC and 82, 86 invincible's tours) or Lockyer (38 as captain) would be my choice.

All though big Mal captained for 24 games too!

hard choice!!!

I think the King was only VC on the 82 tour. Lost his spot to Kenny early on

Tough choice to split this lot

Here's hoping TLA will do a kangaroos set along the lines of the 94 one day, with a few Captain's signatures would be nice! Maybe a Cam Smith retirement version in a couple of years?

Announced tonight Captains Captain........LOCKYER

Can't argue with that.

Was it the 2001 Series v the Poms when we trailed late in each game and Locky conjured up a miracle each time to get us home?

Slightly unrelated but the image of Lockyer that haunts me to this very day is the 2006 S.O.O. Game 3 last minute intercept that started the QLD Dynasty.

Being a massive Broncos and Lockyer fan happy to see him win the award but still don't know how?
