Ricky Stuart faced a choice at the end of his first season as Canberra Raiders coach. Sia Soliola or Jarrod Croker for captain?
Soliola had just returned to the club with 92 NRL games for the Sydney Roosters and 117 Super League games for St Helens, including a premiership, under his belt.
Not to mention 12 Tests for New Zealand and four for Samoa.
