I agree.

I think the fact McGuire got the job when Sinfield didn't play and that happened a fair bit first half of 2015 when we played well, had a lot to do with it. That and there being no real stand out at the time and the possibility you have McGuire throwing his toys were he to be passed over so i can see why he had the role for 2016.

I don't think it has worked out though, and he should have been stripped of the captaincy after the poopfest of last year and handed to Ward with JJB as vice for me anyway.

He should be now for sure.

How about giving it to myler

Doesn't strike me as a captain and also I think giving it to a player new to the club isn't the best idea unless they were well proven captains such as Sinfield or O'Loughlin.

Cant see the powers that be stripping Danny of the captaincy during the season tbh.

Moving forward I would have Stevie as the Captain no doubt.

For me the most important signings this season for next needs to be on the coaching side as I agree, we truly have gone stale.

Agreed.

think McGuire will be retiring now Myler has signed so just let him see out the year, hopefully we can end it with him lifting a piece of silverware.

cuthbo for captain not stevie wards time yet. also myler may be a candidate, or parcell.

I think Ward needs something to move him on to the next level. I don't think Sinfield would have been half the player he was without the authority & direction of captaincy.

100% agreed.

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.

Spot on.

I think Ward's time is right for 2018. You couldn't really give him it in 2016 with his injury and even this year is sort of a comeback year.

Stevie Ward should be our next captain IMO

I would love to see Stevie follow in Sinny's footsteps and lead the club into the next generation,Sinny took over the captaincy at a young age and lead us to a golden period for the club.

I think Stevie could do the same, it will also give him something to think about when the Aussie clubs eventually come calling

I have been told that the NRL clubs are still monitoring Stevie's recovery from injury and it is only a matter of time before an offer comes

Even if he'd have been fit in 2016 I think it would have too much of an ask for Ward. This way he avoids the pressure of following Sir Kev and misses out on the turmoil following the three big retirements.

Wardy deffo.
