Jon Wilkin for me. He's always been our leader anyway in everything but title. He's been our main man this season so far.

id say wilkin aswell, surprised no one has mentioned him
if not wilkin defo roby, i think wellens could be a great captain but with him not having many years left in him it seems more fitter to give it to wilkin or roby ( or maybe both )

Ha! How could I forget about Wilkin? And him being so gorgeous as well? Yep. Wilkin for me too. |

If Wellens is still a significant part of our starting line up for next year we're in trouble.

I'd agree, we need to giving players like Makinson & Ashe a chance |

I guess he means wello is getting older , slower and although he is good positionally he offers very little now on kick returns etc etc .. |

But he is still the best FB at the club, regardless of how old or slow he is. He is an absolute rock in our team, possible the most reliable player in SL and without him we would of conceded many more points this season. It would be daft to overlook him if he was available IMO.
Of course, I see your point in looking at Ashe as he's looked fairly good, but I don't think it warrants Wellens to be dropped from contention.

Yep, but he isn't Billy Slater and so let's face it, he's just rubbish.
(Love Wello, me, and although his form is a little shakey since returning from injury, he's a great fullback and the very best option we have there just now) |

How will we know that till someone else gets a run of games and builds the confidence? FB is a funny position and requires a player not only with ability but belief. Dunno about Mclennan but I'd like to see Wello take a less important role rather than being dropped totally. Worst case I guess we end up with Hiho at FB |

I see your point, but the players you mentioned will get there chance when they are a better option than Wello. He shouldn't be sacrificed just to allow somebody else to play. If Wellens was still playing at the age of 67 with the ability he has now then I would have no issues with him playing. |

 I'm still not sure wello is the best fullback at the club but I do think young Ashe would benefit from a dual reg or loan to go prove himself as a first choice 1 |
