Fiji sevens side lacks a competent captain with all required skills embedded in him.
While experience may be brimming in players like Emosi Vucago, Vereniki Goneva and Nasoni Roko, the question is – whether it is the only facet needed in a player to make a cut for the captain’s job.
The Fijisevenstalanoa doesn’t think so!
Communication is another important portion missing in many of our sevens players.
Communicating well with the referee or the game officials and disseminating those exact phrases to his players had been a difficult task for our captains.
The main problem is understanding the language - English.
If the players get wrong or misinterpreted quotes from their captain … they will continue to repeat the same indiscipline over again, as seen in the previous tournamnets, costing them the game.
The blame should be directed to the messenger (the captain) – who in first place failed to understand the referees point and without clarifying, gave his players the wrong order!
Also the coach should be held for a wrong choice but what else he can do with limited options in his hand.
No wonder he has co-captains that allows him to shoot the wrong messenger replacing him with another throughout the tournament.
Only if the messenger delivers accurately – there won’t be any need to have dual captains and later the ‘shooting of the messenger’.
