Introducing Hurricanes captain Brad Shields and sergeant major TJ PerenaraGETTY IMAGES Brad Shields will be Captain Hurricane, for as long as Dane Coles remains out injured. So it's a title - or bust - for Brad Shields and the Hurricanes. The Hurricanes want halfback TJ Perenara barking plenty of instructions this year. Injury meant Dane Coles was Hurricanes captain (mostly) in name only last year and is in the same boat this time around. Halfback TJ Perenara proved a very able stand-in during the 2017 season, but it's Shields who's got the job this year.
