Wire have enough quality at most positions, what we really need is a player who can produce individual moments of brilliance. A player like Rangi Chase, Danny Brough even a Kyle Eastmond. I'm a big fan of Richie Myler but where is the 20 try, 20 assist man that was at Salford in 2009? So exciting and dangerous. We had more than enough ball at Leeds to win the game but we were very one dimensional in attack and lacked ideas.

Getting ready to be shot down on this one....

Ryan Atkins could make a good on the field captain, he's been around the game long enough, and could help to bring his confidence back, having the onus on motivation of the 13 on the field.

Westwood needs to be left to do what he does throughout the 80
Grix most underrated player in SL but a little too quiet to be captain
Hill give it another season and easily captain material

Atkins at the moment should be nowhere near the team, I suggested giving him a chance to prove the doubters wrong against Leeds but he was so bad it was painful.

I honestly think Hill should be captain he leads from the front and leads by example.

BTW totally agree with your post about Grix, such a cracking player!

The thing that got me at Leeds was watching the team behind the sticks at least 3/4 players put a word in, nobody really took charge. At the minute these is nobody that can do that.

I disagree with the lets throw big money at getting someone in who would be a good captain.

Birdseye ran a tight ship but I don't think he'd make a good 9!

I disagree on Atkins he does not have the mental fortitude to be captain.

I don' know what comments were made about Bradford in 2006. I do know that the club was involved in a great deal of strife at board level which led to hitherto key personnel and backers leaving the club which has since fatally imploded.
At the moment, we still have one of the best administrative set-ups in the game and, most importantly, we still have SM.
As far as I can see, apart from the necessity of team re-building, there is no comparison between the two situations.
