    Re: Who should be next Captain

    Kim Jong-Un is a good leader, a supreme leader in fact. Seems to be on the way out in North Korea, I wonder what it would take to get a trade done?

    Re: Who should be next Captain

    A crucial appointment. With so many impressionable young guys and experience running out the door this is our most crucial appointment. We need to rebuild our culture and give it some meaning to these young players, we need to do that quickly. You don't pick the best player, you pick the best leader. A guy who has the groups respect, a guy that can bring the group together and unite them towards a purpose. Make it unthinkable to leave for money or a better placed team. At the moment you could forgive our young players for thinking it is acceptable behavior. The 3 most admired cultures in the league started with Richie Vandenberg, Tom Harley and Stuey Maxfield as their captains. I don't care if the guy is a fringe player. You pick the best leader regardless of profile. Age and maturity are things you naturally take into account when judging a leader too.

    As for who that man is it is hard to tell from outside. Wallis looks to have all the qualities to me but you really wouldn't know from where we stand. We don't have a huge amount of options. Most of our kids are too young, Wallis and Libba are almost ready in terms of age I guess. Murphy could do it but it would be a stop gap.

    As posted elsewhere, I like Murph as an option whether Griff in with us or not.

    Is Murph one of the unhappy senior players?
    I like Dale Morris as a captain.

    Morris or Murphy with Roughead as the vice captain.

    Yep, there is no one in the right age range. Give it to one of the older guys for a few seasons while an heir apparent matures.

    I have a Zaine'y idea for captain, he was in the falcon's leadership group this year. Not saying who that is though...

    Idiot!

    I reckon give it to Jake Lever. He's spent the year practicing his leadership qualities.

    Someone had to break from the serious stuff. If it's Lever, he's busy next year getting the orientation as leader of the Tommy Williams school for kids who cant' stay fit long and wanna play good. (aka rehab group leader) Not sure he'd have time for both roles.

    Would be worth it for the 24,895,480 jumpers we'd sell.

    Agreed - Dale should have got the job instead of Boyd at the time. Finally gets his chance.

    I'd give it to any of our remaining senior players who holds the respect of the kids and of the coaching group. I'm hoping this might be Dale.

    ROBERT MURPHY.
    Give him the captaincy so he can steer the ship for at least this year.
