Not just Wiki, it seems now our coach is fuelling the rumours (although no direct quotes)... www.leaguehq.com.au/news/lhqnews ... 27453.html I've got to admit, I'm not against it per se, but I think you generally need to pay your dues at a club before being rewarded with the captaincy.

Ox is a leader and a winner.

Nothing about him says he wouldn't be a good captain. infact i think bringing in the new guy and having him call the shots would be beneficial to the team

I agree. Orford is the natural choice for me, and a new start with two new halfs and a new captain who hasn't been at the club could be just what we need, a new start after last year. (Morrison was made V.Capt after 1 training session IIRC)

The only other option I'd go for is Langley, with Orford leading matters on the pitch from 7 by default anyway. But I'd pick Orford without doubt.

I said at the end of the season that the recruitment started and ended with the halfs and I wanted 2, didn't think we'd get it but we have (assuming Kearney does start and stay at 6 and not move to 1) so I'm happy with our recruitment given the players that have been available.

I cant wait for the new season now.

Oh well, so much for our (my) expert thoughts

. If the man hiself doesn't think its right then it wont happen. Quite simple now then, Langley for captain for me I think.

He will surely be appointed Vice-Captain, with Morro the precedent?

Seems he's more concerned with not ruffling the feathers of his new team mates before he's even met them that actually turning down the captaincy.

Think once he's over and has settled in with his new team he might have a different answer

Thats right, thinking about it its pretty much what I'd expect any new "star" player to say before he's even in the country.



If McNamara names Langley before Orford comes over that could well be the case. Like I said previously you would expect Orford as an experienced leader at 7 to be a natural leader on the park anyway, whoever has the armband.

Step up Mr. Nero...

because you're blocking the way for our new captain

to be honest i think new captain will be andy lynch with steve menzies as vice captain

think in the future i can see james donaldson one day being captain of bulls

Langley still for me. Wouldn't complain if Lynch got it though.
