| James Graham was captain when Peacock or Morley weren't picked. I'd guess him.

Exactly why I didn't give him thought.
I don't think he is 'certain' to be first choice in the 13 either. He would be better off the bench for me. Not captain material.
Tomkins is the future captain but making him captain now would bring too much attention on him.

What a daft comment.
Anyway it's going to be Sinfield...this is McNamara we are talking about.

Why is that a daft comment? My opinion is that he would be better playing from the bench. He could give us impact.
He has proved himself to be a bit of a cry baby anyway.
Just look at the last 30 seconds of the 2010 GF. Jammer is having a paddy and standing in the centres while Wilkin, Wellens and Roby are still giving it everything they have untill the game is over. He certainly doesn't have the right mindset to be a captain.

| If he plays which imo he shouldnt on current form anyway it should be Sinfield because I think he is the best captain, however if I was in charge I would pick Roby! You need someone who is going to be on the pitch for at least 70mins and I think it should be a SL based player so they can play mid season. O'loughlian would be second choice for me!

| Depends if you want a player who's central to the playmaking or a 'leader by example'. Personally I think Graham deserves a chance, as we don't have a 'must pick' halfback.

| I have necer liked the idea of a props or hookers being captain as they generally are only on the pitch for half a match and pointless. It probably should go to Sinfield as he is the best captain but I wouldn't know where to put him in the team and IMO there are better players in the positions he plays in. And as someone said if he is captain that means he will be in the test team until he retires.
I think it should be Ellis as captain and Sam as his deputy. But still believe McBanana will go with Sinfield.

| I'd go for O'Loughlin, should go to someone who is/has been captain at club level for a decent period of time. I'd pick him over Sinfield based on he should be around in the team a lot longer than Sinfield, who i can see retiring from Internationals after next years World Cup. I think the RFL would prefer it to go to an Super League based player too for any media throughout the year and also for the Exiles games instead of rolling out a deputy.
