No wonder England never do well their own fans cant be happy with the captain! Personally I never saw Peacock as a great captain but support the managers decision as that what he's paid for. Be interesting if England do well to see what happens to captaincy next year!

Graham seems to be a little petulant and shouty with referees (even if the mistakes are obvious, they won't reverse decisions).

I would have gone for O'Loughlin, but perhaps McNamara was looking for someone who was a guaranteed starter, not saying the GF winning skipper isn't gonna play, just that Graham definitely will.

Garry Schofield is a twit.

O'Loughlin isnt the Wigan skipper, he is part of the 'leadership team' at Wigan - but the first thing that Macguire did was take the captaincy off him.

Ellis to me seems to be a quiet achiever, rather than an inspirational figurehead and leader.

Some people are captaincy material and some are not - its not a personal criticism of those who are not to say so.

I must admit this has caught me by surprise as I thought Ellis or O'Loughlin would of been Captain.
One thing you can say about Jammer though he will lead by example and hopefully it will inspire his team mates.

I have no issue with who the captain happens to be.

Whoever was assigned the job, it won't make a smidgen of difference to the results.
