With the departure of Newton, Briscoe and Vella i think it's got to be a one horse race, [url=http://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/HULL-KR-Galea-d-honoured-captain/story-13817974-detail/story.html=#0000FFGalea[/url with Dobbo as second in command.

Agreed.

Third-ed!

Fourth-ied

I'm not sure. Galea's my favourite player but when he stood in for Vella during part of our bad run he was noticeably absent in leadership skills I felt.

Dobson for me, I like a half back to be calling the shots and he'll be out on the paddock for as much time as he's fit, Galea will play nowhere near the minutes he did last season.

Get welham on the Case Ginger power will sort the ref out

Give Clinton the arm band!!

Why, can't he swim? He probably can, Aussie, they all can.

Blake Green?

U cud be onto Sumet there espec if he got his mojo back but purely for sentimental reasons and poss last season think it will go to galea

Couldnt have thought of a worse choice!!!

A Clinton of 2010 was what our pack was lacking last season IMO

I hear Stuart Elliot fancies himself as Captain

Galea for me, we dont seem to be blessed with too many candidates IMO,

nevo, longest serving robin

What why wud u give someone the captaincy who is prob never gonna play

Nethers has been given the 16 shirt so that improves probability somewhat.

By all accounts he too has got his mojo back. . . mind you I didn't know he had any. . . but he is training the house down! Go on Nethers, prove us all wrong!

Sounds good, bet his team mates appreciate it.
New contract!

sarcasm is the lowest form of wit...........

To say he's never gonna play, well, i didn't think he should have played much the last two seasons but he did.....

Clinton or Galea surely.

I'm growing to the idea of Clinton skippering the side. He has obviously impressed Sandercock enough with his attitude in training to be given the number 8 shirt infront of some other strong candidates.
Now that James Graham has headed abroad i think that a fully firing Clinton is, along with Mark O'Meley, the best prop in the competition. Giving him the captaincy may be the boost he needs to recapture his best form.
It could be seen as a gamble but i think it is a calculated one and there is plenty of experience in the side to assist him.

Let's not get carried away RBA, o'meleys not that good

As things stand, he's not even the best prop in our team. And he wears rubbish shirts, nearly dried my hands in the toilet the other weekend on one it looked that much like a towel.

Have we every seen a fully firing Joel Clinton in a Rovers shirt? We should start calling him Samson...he was twice the player when he had crazy hair



Benny Galea all the way for me. Then I'd give it to Scott Taylor next year.

I do not understand why know-one has suggested Dobbo. I thought it would be your obvious choice, good player and professional both on and off the pitch.
