If it was up to the fans who would you pick? For me after this season it has to be Simon Grix

Good Shout +1

Grix or Big Roy for mine.

Briers?

I wouldn't, I feel we need a captain who will be around a while

Initially, I thought Michael Monaghan. He seems the mort dominant voice of the group. But then I thought, how many games will he play in?

My mind then started to work out the real candidates, and the pros and cons:

Briers: Final year, and will play a lesser role next year. But still leads us well.
Asotasi: Good leader, but will play low minutes.
Waterhouse: Led us out a few times, and did at Penrith too. But is he the 'right man'
Higham: Experienced, but doesn't look like a leader, doesn't come across as captain material.
Westwood: Too rash a character

All of the names don't scream 'consistency' or 'longevity' so it begs the question, do you make a call for the next 5-7 years? On this basis; Hill, Grix or Myler are genuine candidates. I'd happily be led out by either of the three, and they come across as good communicators.

For me, Chris Hill.

For me I want Grix, the main reason is, he never gets the credit for his hard work, he's been one of the, if not the best player for us this season, he's so underrated...he deserves it for the last 3/4 seasons he's played for us

Woody is a shout or even Chris Hill. We need someone like Moz, who lead from the front and would put his hand up in times of need to drag us through. Briers has enough responsibility. M Monas is also a good call and a natural leader.

What about Ratchford, i was at the leeds away game and he was very vocal late on in the game trying to rally the troops.was all a bit late but he did have a go.

Grix. I've always liked my captains to come from the eye of the storm that is the forward battle and Simon is tough as nails, never gives in, leads by example and is totally committed.

Morley was an unlikely captain and proved to be a great one.

So how about Ben Westwood?
Like Morley before him, a unexplainable decision, but could it work?

Ratchford, Harrison needs a kik up the get him going again, maby this could be it

I'm going to say something totally out of left field, Myler, really upped his game this season and certainly seems to be more vocal and getting better all the time at leading us around the park...

it'll be asotasi.

End of.

Carvel when he resigns for us

Why do you think that Cat?

souths co captain and ex NZ international Captain. and future pack leader.

fair assurtion

It will be Asotasi as he is a prove leader. But would have liked it to be Grix

Michael Monaghan is the only option for me.

I said Myler the last time this topic popped up. When Myler is fit and firing we're at our best. He's [ithat[/i important to us. I think he naturally leads in the way he plays.

Of course, Roy Asotasi has been captain of NZ and is captain of Samoa - so he'd be the obvious choice now he's coming to us. But Myler could be here for years. I'd be happy with either.

-good call-

I think Cat is right, it will be Asotasi. Monas has only a year left, and could easily be sidelined with his knees. With Asotasi we have the prospect of a bit more continuity, as well as the track record of doing the job at the highest level. I also wonder if making him captain may bring a lot more out of the guy in terms of his own performances.

Longer term (5 years) my pound would go on Currie.

Chaz, I'd have to agree with your short term analysis and you got to think that the captaincy was a key factor in smith's recruitment policy. Grix is a good player, is he that vocal I understand you can lead by example?

Who knows what the future holds? Currie certainly has the potential to be a top, top player, I just hope that we keep hold of him.

I'd like to see Grix or Myler
