Probably not the man for the job.

I was fortunate enough to have seen Rocky Turner while he led the great Trinity side of the early sixties and he was by far the best Wakefield captain that I have ever see.

If you want a modern version look at Andy Farrell. Even in retirement his motivational speech to the British Lions (RU version) should be watched by every player and coach alike.

This was said to seasoned professionals, international players in a calm and soft manner which had my hairs stand up.

In short he said that it wasn't about taking part or playing well......It was only about winning.

No wonder he was such a great player.

do you rate turner as a better captain than Harold Poynton who led us in our championship wins and if so why and we’re they similar In leadership

I suppose it's like many other aspects in life, when everything is going well and running smoothly, a leader in the business world, or a captain of a sports team isn't needed as much. When things are going wrong, then obviously they come into play, and their leadership style will be questioned if results are not improved. A team of 'workers' are a team, but also individuals, so a kick up the backside for one may work, and an arm around the shoulder for another may be beneficial. I'll be honest, Miller doesn't come across as a 'natural' leader of men, but it doesn't mean he can't do a good job. The last decent team we had in 2004, Ellis was very softly spoken, and appeared to lead by example? The way Sculthorpe did as well. It's a weird one sometimes, because some of the greatest sports teams have had captains/leaders who wouldn't have got in their respective teams on ability alone! Mike Brearly in cricket for one. You would assume Chester sees something in Jacob doing the job......

ashurst?

A captain IMO needs to be on the pitch for the full 80, so no though I'm sure he'd be ok at the job. I know there are exceptions but generally speaking that how it works.

I don't think Ashurst is a captain personally but isn't he one of the only forwards that does play 80 minutes (pre injury of course)
They tend to change props, Hooker and LF more than second rowers.

So who do we fancy as next years captain?fifita? kyle wood? Hope we dont persevere with miller think he lost some form from pressure of position especially on our losing run

Miller has already been named
