according to the manchester evening news, salford are planning on appointing 5 captains, like wigan did at the start of this season ! even tho andy coley admitted it didnt work at first ! but then again, it bought them success !

i would just like to get fellow fans views on this idea ?
A

nd who would your 5 captains be ?

Birds eye, Webb, Mainwaring, Scarlet and Smith of the Titanic

Captain's Caveman, Pugwash, James T, Hook and Jack Sparrow will be annoyed to have missed out of your final cut

some people were disappointed

there can only be one, capt jean-luc picard

You kids know nowt, James T Kirk is the origional and the best.

have you still got klingons on your starboard bow?

Na, it's all about the Anusol baby

if we have captain birdseye does that mean we will have 17 fish fingers playing for us next season as we pretty much have this one!!

if all of the above turn us down because of image rights issues id go for

Patton - you arnt nicknamed the general if you arnt a leader

Holdsworth - he is our new heartbeat now alker has gone

Parker - solid leader experience

Adamson - has a leader look about him, young but isnt afraid to put his hand up if needed, may take him to the next level after a average year

Jewitt - controversal choice i know, had a good year this year and has started to control his "anger" and not give silly pens away, still fire in the belly and with the extra responsabilities may go and stay @ the next level

Bobby, Bobby, Bobby....nowt to do with his organisational/leadership qualities I'm afraid.

mcrae hasnt got a clue whats going on himself he will probably name alker, fata sini, paul forber, matt gardner and probably himself
my pick would be pattern, holdsworth, cashmere, parker and anderson

Ractchford might be a dark horse for the captaincy (especially if we're going to have 5 captains?!) because he was doing an awful lots of the talking as the team gathered behind the sticks (far too many times?!) at Huddersfield on Sunday, particularly when Parker was off the field.

[iI think Luke Adamson should be named captain for next season and Rob Parker should be his number two.[/i

I think making Adamson the main capt with a vice captain would be the wrong thing to do and to early for him. He's had abit of a mare this season. Partly due to the expectations on him to step up and make a claim for the national squad that everyone thinks he is destined for. He needs a couple more seasons to consolidate himself before having the extra added pressure of the captaincy IMO. I would Heartly have him as 1 of 5 though.

If other posts are correct on cabin ... I mean changing room dissent, Bligh?

"NOW NOW MR CHRISTIAN"

On the subject of captains.

This manner of thinking seems far to progressive for Shaun McRae.

I dont think his average performance this year had anything to do with the added pressure of responsibilities this year (being 3rd in command behind alker and parker when neither were present, Away at leeds being my remembered highlight when he was in the ref's ear all game and kept team morale high)

but more to do with the necessary shoulder surgery (on both shoulder's) which has been required since murrayfield when a staggering 60+ tackles were made. (most of them stopping morley from the never ending restart's in the non stop hammering) This guy has been playing on with injury since then waiting for the right time to sit out and have surgery...

He lead's from the front, never duck's out of a challenge, never thinks twice and run's his blood to water... remind you of anyone?!

I can safely say that had we had a proper coach, "coach" being the key word here he would have progressed allot quicker in his attacking role and we would have genuine GB material in our squad.

The fact of the matter is (and im going off the point slightly here) our COACH, doesn't coach, and this isn't second hand info, he has talented seasoned players like holdsworth playing silly pointless exercises in training, and as for the likes of Adamson, ratchford and jewitt our key youth players that have stuck with and come from academy, these players have not been "COACHED" properly. Like the burgess brothers have, or a wide range of talented youth that have progressed and have coached thru the season's

Oh well i rambling now but I think until we get a millward,noble type up there who actually knows how to instruct players then our young hopefulls arent goping to progress like we'd hope

and I doubt we can sack him and stick him on gardening duty with Mr Harrison as that would im sure dent our furture signing's

Made me laugh, though.

1) why call him "the general" then?

2) id hope with all his experience and being a marquee signing he'd be able to help the younger lads and lead us from the front.

meh

Best post of the season!!

He'll be telling us soon that he knew about General Patton really and it was due to him not sleeping as the baby is keeping him up all night
