The other big question, along with who will play flyhalf next year, is who is going to captain the team?
Lilo, Carter and Pocock gone..........
Based on the experienced players remaining, Joe Powell would have to be a strong favourite, although if Nic White signs on that could be a problem.........
Tom Cusack has the credentials, had a successful stint as captain with the Vikings in the NRC, and seemed to be the only guaranteed starter in the backrowers this year......... but that probably won't be the case going forward and since he'll be spending time with the Sevens team next year that should definitely rule him out.
Pete Samu and McCaffrey would also be good candidates - both of them experienced, smart footballers who lead from the front.......... although Samu is probably the only guaranteed starter of the two, but it will only be his second year at the club.
