With Joel moving on who are the candidates for Captain and Vice Captain for next season?

Kurt Gidley - Captain
Chris Hill - Vice Captain

Hill captain.

Gidley has been around the block and I'm sure he could handle it too. But I'd stick him Vice Captain and see how he goes.

Gidley. Hill is not a vocal, organising player, just does his job quietly. Plus he is not on the field all the time.

Gidley has to be captain. If you watch the video when he is miked up he never stops talking/encouraging.

There is no one currently at the Club that screams Captain.
I know very little about Gidley but he was extremely well thought of at his old club so perhaps he should take it.

For me Sims as to be considered, after the Leigh game were he was mic 'd up he was very vocal.

Surely Sims just in after Gidley? Our most vocal player.

Sims is too much of a hot head for Captain in my view. Of course the responsibility may curb that. Outside shout DC as vice?

This is why I originally discounted Ashton because of occasional discipline problems.
But when Moz arrived he had a similar reputation to what Ashton has but making him Captain was a masterstroke he cleaned his own act up and proved to be a fantastic leader for our team.

100% Ashton Simms

Gidley for me. Prefer the Captain on the pitch for the full 80.

Is it effective to import a stranger as captain though?

'stranger' he may be, but the bloke is a born leader.

I would think we will leave it as late as possible to decide. Give em time to bond etc pre season
