| I posted this in June, for me its a no brainer,
Quote: Mini Kev "Sinfield became captain at 22 and became the greatest captain this club will ever see. Its no secret Stevie Ward was/is affectionately referred to as "Mini Kev" whilst Sinfield was still at the club. He'll be 24 by the time the 2018 season kicks off. Its definitely his time.
A captain should be one who epitomises the clubs values, who lives and breathes the club and who’s future is still yet to be made.
Mags is Leeds through and through but his era was also Sinfields. Cuthbo and Parcell don’t need the hassle.
Ward is the perfect fit.'"

| what is the basis for McD's thinking & Singleton's pedigree as a captain? I haven't seen an inkling that he is of the right pedigree. I thought that of Peacock at one time, but at least he stood out as a great player.

| Not sure that is always the case.
Great players like great staff don`t always make good captains or good managers.
Like I said Singleton would not have been my choice but clearly the coach thinks he has the ability.

| Quote: BrisbaneRhino "Watkins would already have been made offers from NRL clubs. I get the impression that for personal reasons we may be lucky enough to see him play his entire career with us. Ditto Ryan Hall, who we know has been made offers in the past.'"
Yeah i agree. Both could have moved at any time over the last 5 years, Hall could probably have had his pick of clubs over the last 8 years but at 30 his window has closed.Now Watkins is captain i think it puts to bed either making the switch.

| Quote: chapylad "Do we know who the VC is yet?
Or is it a mixture of players?
I really would like to see Stevie Ward get the nod as VC.'"

| I expected it to be Ward but Watkins really showed his bottle with his goal kicking in the semi final and then his outstanding WC performances
Recon a few little things added up to tip the scales in favour of Watkins over Ward:
1- probable goal kicker (makes on field penalty decisions much quicker)
2- international experience
3- better injury record
4- will play 80 mins a lot more
Either way I back him as a captain and think he has the bottle and respect of the players to do well
