I will genuinely be interetsed in how this pans out; but can't see it working on a match by match basis. In a high pressure situation like this players need clear leadership. I would wager that, injuries permitting, a captain has emerged by the latter half of the season & they adopt that role in every game.

I believe the team captain will be Orford with Langers as club captain. My reason is that they were sat left and right of McNamara. The only other thing I can think of is that we are going to do a Wigan - Leadership team, please no! Just that Orford, Menzies, Langley and Lynch are the 4 sat closest to the coach at the middle

As soon as Orford signed there was only ever going to be one captain.

Personally I can't see Lynch being captain, simply because he doesn't spend enough time on the pitch.
As to who is the better choice between Ox and Langley, then it has to be Ox. So unless Langers has expressed a particular interest in being skipper then for me the descision is simples.

Come to think of it, I've got a particular interest in being Bulls captain, I wonder if it will sway Macca.

Orford and Langley are both sat next to Macca in the mibble of the front row of the 2010 squad photo.

You'd be on the bench until the last three minutes.

My body's fooked though I looked great when I was younger, I've lost all my pace so can't support a break, my visions gone so can't create anything, kicking's not bad though not what it was - is there a chance for me?

There was a vacancy for someone with those qualities at Wigan recently but I hear it has been filled.

I cant see past Orford to be honest, and firmly believe the captain should be one of the playmakers.

Wigan have lost the plot.

TBH, it was my opinion that we had a similar thing to Wigan last season with Newton, Morrison, Deacon and Jeffries. It was just a shame that they all wanted to lead in different directions and the team looked lost at times

I think every other team has named their captain apart from Catalans now. Hope there's something announced soon, suppose we might wait till after Hull KR but i'd like to know who'll be leading us out. My money's on Orford after waiting this long.

Is the captaincy really such a big issue? Not sure it is to be honest.

I am more interested to know who'll be taking on Deacon's kicking duties to be honest, although I expect Orford is also favourite for that job too.

So am I. Fantasy teams need confirming next week.

Me neither. Besides that, I suspect in reality, the players know exactly who the new captain is, they're just not making it public knowledge yet.
