[1] In his place, Glenn Hall and Anthony Mitchell were announced as co-captains of the team. [2] Coming off a minor premiership and Grand Final appearance in 2015, the Blackhawks got off to a strong start to their second season in the Intrust Super Cup, winning their first five games. On May 19, inaugural Blackhawk Neville Costigan retired due to a chronic knee injury. [3]
