| Quote: Juan Cornetto "Yes he will miss maybe a couple of months but under the new set up it is a long long season and hopefully he will return fresh at a time when we may well have another bout of injuries. So I see him figuring strongly in the important end of the season. I am happy with Mags as captain and would make JJB one of say 3 vice captains along with Burrow and Ward.'"
I'll drink to that. And when it's his turn to bow out he deserves the same send off as JP, KS and KL enjoyed.

| An obvious choice and I wish him every success.

I hope so. His enthusiasm and charisma would be great in the Foundation getting people involved.

icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg |

| Well deserved - his contribution to the team's success over the past 11 years matches anyone.
A fitting choice hopefully he will continue to the be inspirational leader he has been for the last few seasons.
A great player without doubt one the 10 best players of the whole SL era

| I think Danny will be fine as captain. I'd like to see JJB as club captain and danny as on-field captain. JJB really sums up what it means to be a rhino

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

| I can see no reason why he won't do an excellent job... Looking forward to seeing how Leeds go this season, big holes to fill and i'm sure all opposition fans will be curious to see how Leeds rearrange themselves.

| Been a great player now for over a decade and changed his game as pace diminished. Great in big games and will be sorely missed when retires. I think he will be rightly proud to lead the team and for all he has done deserves all Leeds fans support and a bit of slack if he does throw a small wobbler now and then. This new less experienced group may need to hear a bit more emotion.

| Having a good captain is probably less important than having a number of leaders across the team. It would be unfair to blame McGuire for not being as good a captain as Sinfield when he also won't have Peacock around. Having said that the squad has enough experience to get by IMO.

To all those people who critisized this team...tonight's for you.

| Quote: Juan Cornetto "Well I certainly will not be writing off JJB so easily. Just because he has had an unlucky run of injury does not mean it will continue. Nobody in the squad plays with more intensity, energy and enthusiasm so he will remain one of the first names on the team sheet when he returns. So his leadership qualities will be a big help to McGuire.'" Every Rhino fan appreciates the heart and soul that JJB has put into the club...but...don't let sentiment get in the way of fact. He is no spring chicken and he will become even more injury prone/take longer to heal as time marches on. The guy needs some luck on the injury front, but having him around the squad in any capacity is a boost - he IS Mr Leeds.

My comments are not based on sentiment Chunky just the fact that when on the field JJB still leads our defence, leads our kick chase, always puts in a decent tackle count and is eager to take his share of the hard yards despite being no spring chicken. His committed style of play will always put him at greater risk of injury but that is part and parcel of the man and one that was hewn off a similar block to JP. Until he hangs up his boots he will always be challenging for a place in the team IMO

| at 35 JJB will likely play on until the end of 2017 and then call it a day, or one more bad injury will get him first and force his hand.I hope it is the former and he gets to go out on his own terms. I also agree with Juan that there is still a guaranteed place in the 17 when he gets himself fit for me, so having him around still is by no means built out of sentiment.
