Paul Sykes?

Stuart Fielden.

Morley, Ellis, Graham in that order.

Ellis, will be playing for longer then Morley so no point having Morley as a 1 or 2 year stop gap when you can have Ellis for another 3-5 years.

Did McNamara name a captain to start with, or did he just accept Tony Smith's choice?

New Captain should be Sinfield, even if JP was fit to play

Why?

Steve Nash

Why not !

There are better players in his position available. I'm not a big fan of using players out of position - if McNamara's willing to put Sinfield in at 13, then by all means, he could captain the side. I don't think we should be so willing to play players out of position, and if we do we shouldn't be awarding that player captaincy, when he's not even in the squad in his best (or even 2nd best position). At hooker too, he will only be on the pitch for about half the game.

Gareth Ellis is the obvious captain in my opinion. Was a good leader on the field during his time at Wakey and Leeds and has now gained good experience 'darn under'.

Ellis for me.
