I'll be honest - I wanted Gabby cos we only win doubles with a CH 6 as skipper. But he's be more likely to lamp the ref so it makes much more sense to have a polite, well bought up young chap like Odin or B.
I want a captain who will help charm the refs. Rice is the best option. Refs like him.

Sorry to say it but refs are going to have an issue with the other candidates. They are either not English or, and I hate to say this, not white.

Look at these referees. Look how they act. Look how they speak to people around them.

Give them a white, English working class lad who knows his place and they will treat him ok. Anything else and they are just itching to go after you.

The other issue with Saka is he is viewed as a cheat. We all know that is total and utter *******s. But crowds give it every week. Of course it influences referees It cant not.

I'm not labelling all refs as xenophobic and racist. But they are a bit.
