It seems obvious to me that Brett Seymour will be the captain. HB's often are because of the organising and directing qualities that they have and he will be no different.

I'd rather leave Seymour the responsibility of leading us around the pitch without the extras of being a captain.

My thoughts are why cant we have a number of captains for the season, say 5-6, and rotate them accordingly. This would share the work load and put less pressure/stress on individual players who thrive on organising the team but maybe wouldnt player as well with all the responsiblity on their shoulders. Think they have something like that over at Wigan and seems to work fine for them. What do you think ??

It was indeed Wigan that did this (not sure if they still do), called it the Leadership Team IIRC?

Totally agree. New club,new teammates and culture I think the last he'll need is the captain's role.

Is Lynch in with a shout???

Not a fan of new players coming in as captain myself.

Tickle with Tom as assistant give it to local lads and no one leads like example anymore then these two. neither miss many games and play full 80's

Briscoe?!

I thought Tickle was from Wigan and Tom Briscoe from Featherstone? I do agree that Tickle would be good as he's been at the club sometime. I'm a big fan of a leadership group however, seems to have worked pretty well at Wigan and I do hope Lynch is part of this.

Didn't they drop the leadership group idea this season and just give it to O'Loughlin ?

Not sure too be honest. Still I suppose they had a successful year in 2010.

Lynch with Seymour VC for me, 2 natural leaders.

I would say that's about right imo. Tickle although well thought of I don't think he is quite captain material like long wasn't.

Tickle can get a little hot headed and you need a calm player when talking to the ref which is the main reason i wouldnt have Tickle.

From this seasons play, Tickle appears to be the frontrunner for captaincy. However, I'd hope that Gentle waits a few months to decide it, so he can get a thorough look and opinion on everyone.

Me neither but it might be a token gesture of a new era, and Lynch was captain at Bradford.

Didn't work wi radders, then long and fitz.....no dig at the former tho.
If the players brought in are leaders then let them lead.. take the strain and let the others play without worry

Why the hell have 2 people mentioned Radford.

The guy shouldn't be anywhere near our 17, let alone be given the captaincy.

Tickle, Ogre or Seymour.

Got to be Lynch for me.

I'd give it to Lynch just to shake things up a bit, if the current players don't like it then tough. Lynch has already said he knows a lot of the current squad so the transition from new boy to captain will be a lot smoother.

I'd like to give Westy the vice captain tag however am in two minds as to whether he will be ready for such a role yet and if it could interfere with his development. I think Tickle or Ogre will be the main two candidates with Tickle getting the nod because in general he is on the field longer.

I wouldn't be surprised however if Horney was given one of the two captain roles.

give it the capt to jamie lyon ( that could get him over here )
