Graham for me

Plenty of VC options that can covered the mid-season Exiles games by Graham for the World Cup

Ellis would naturally attract some votes as he has been a top player in both SL and NRL but I don't see him as a Captain.

I'd go with O'Loughlin for the next Exiles game and then Ellis to get it at the end of the season when he comes back.

Graham for me, like tohers have said O'loughlin sin't GURANTEED to be in the starting line up. For me Roby is too quiet and i don't think Tomkins is quite mature enough yet, let him carry on what he's doing. Maybe give him VC.

But Mcnamara will go against eveyrbody and choose Sinfield as he is hell bent on seeing him in an England shirt.

Some bizarre stuff on here about Lockers. Whether or not he'd make the best captain is a matter for debate but as far as LFs go he is easily the best in Britain at the moment and is therefore as guaranteed as anyone to get a starting spot.

Would he be as good in the second row as Hock or Ellis, probably not. But he is a LF, not a second rower! If we had two second rowers better than Hock at Wigan (or for England) I still wouldn't want him playing 13 ahead of Lockers.

If Sinfield is playing he should be captain - he's clearly the best captain in Super League - the best candidates if he's not playing are all playing down under which brings its own problems. I've never particularly rated O'Loughlin, I don't think Tomkins is captaincy material and I'd rather leave Roby to do what he does best without thinking about anything else, so long term you'd have to say Graham and possibly Burgess are the stand out candidates.

Unless Sinfield's on the pitch.

Personally i would have Roby as captain with ellis and o'loughlin as vice! However I think Sinfield is the best captain we could chose but imo he shouldnt be in the team, on current form at least. But for some strange reason he is continually picked at 6 ahead of better options such as lomax, mcguire, ratchford and widdop he should be captain.

You can't have a captain who's based in the NRL.
