If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.
Think this will a be a tough one to call as dont think we have any natural leaders, not sure what the new signings credentials are?
Dobson will probably be the next captain.

Stan, I assume you mean Josh hodgson and I dont think he has what it takes to be captain, let him play rugby without the added pressure of being captain, same goes for Rhys for me too.

I went to write 'past', but it seemed rubbish. The pub is past the shops, I can see. But it is 'I passed the shops to reach the pub'. I guess it is the sense of 'beyond', rather than 'around' or 'through'. Anyway you're right, I'm wrong - first time for everything.

I don't want it to be Dobson as I think he's got enough to do but realistically, who else is there?
I agree with Obergruppenführer Mild Rover, a shouting and clapping contest should be held and whoever wins to be made El Capitano and forced to wear a beret and grow a big beard.
