Necro'ing this because it's better than working out the appropriate thread and this is still from-this-season-relevant.
Kilman as captain though, has continued to be a baffling choice. I don't hate him, I just don't think he's ever going to be a player who's more than bottom half PL standard.
As a captain he's non-existent as a leader. Not the only one who sees this right? Dawson marshalls the defence, constantly talking, Lemina too is quite vocal. Kilman seems to spend more times trying to get out of position.
I'm trying to think of someone in recent times who had the armband and appeared as devoid of any leadership skills:
Neves
Coady
Batth
Ricketts
Johnson
Henry
Craddock
Breen
Craddock
I'm not as qualified on our history, others will have better memory, eg iirc RoJo at least started like he gave a crap? And I have no idea on the story on why Breen was captain.
