Brisbane has no concerns over maligned players Tom Rockliff and Allen Christensen.

The Lions’ new coach Chris Fagan has told Sportsday their pre-seasons have been fantastic.

‘Their attitude and their leadership around the group has been nothing short of outstanding,’ Fagan said.

‘There were a lot of bad raps on Tom last year, but all I can say is I’ve found him to be a real professional.

‘I couldn’t speak highly enough of him.

‘I think he’s changed his ways. I think the motivation for that has come from himself internally.’

Fagan said the Lions expect to decide on their captain in mid-March.
