Official Cameron McInnes

We sent Cam for the season launch captains photo

Not guaranteed but increase likelihood he takes back captaincy when he returns, which would also suggest starts.
Also supports increased likelihood he stays.
Neither guaranteed by this move of course.

I think you're reading to much into it, we sent our injured club captain to a season launch on a training day.

Grant was able to fly up for it and Tino down for it, I didn’t think it was that far fetched if we’d declared Blayke captain that we could have got him to Sydney for a couple hours.

Made me slightly less confident Blayke retains the captaincy. I didn’t think I’d gone that deep. How would I even know if the photo timing would impact him training anyway
 
I wonder if the signing of Owen Trout and re-signing of Jesse C means Cam McInnes will retire. The new bench may actually suit him. Could be in the 19 but only played if/when needed. Just a thought. Happy to let him go if he has good offers elsewhere, happy to sign him if it is for a bench role with limited minutes.

I don't think he's ready to retire. Cam would make a great club captain at Perth Bears for a year or two.

Interesting point about having a senior player sitting on the extended bench. It could be a way to 'backload' a contract, by extending it at a first graders rate but not having to give them many/any minutes. They would be handy to have at ground level in the heat of battle.
You could see a Reynolds/older Hunt, who struggle to play 80, coming on when the game is in the balance and helping set up plays.

Not sure you'd want to be chewing up too much of your salary cap to do that, though.

It will be very interesting to see how different coaches handle it.

Storm and Gold Coast don’t have an injured (former) captain to send in their place.
