Nicoll-Klokstad wants to support friend Tapine as new Canberra captain, but doesn't want him to succeed too much.
Warriors fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad has perhaps the strangest wish of any player on show in Las Vegas this weekend.
Nicoll-Klokstad, who spent six seasons at the Raiders and made his name there, wants to play his part in the leadership debut of new Canberra captain Joe Tapine.
"Joe is a great mate of mine and I wish him well - just not too well," Nicoll-Klokstad told Wide World of Sports with a wry grin.
