Decent enough choice, IMO. Fitzgibbon would have been more than okay as well, but maybe the fact that Long should be on the pitch more and will still definately be around for 2011 swayed it is way.

I get a feeling that despite both been massively successful, you lot have warmed quicker to Fitzgibbon than Long - I think that'll change when you get get to see him playing in a Hull shirt, much as it did for Calderwood.

It's not 2pm

2-00PM! (Over to you Hutchie)

Neither was radders.

Either him or Fitz are obvious choices I would just have preferred Fitz.

Moaning?

People are allowed to express positive and negative opinions!

Long like Fitz was an obvious choice and I expected Long to get the VC role. We have already been told that Long is organising the attack and will be controlling our kicking game, how much do we want him to do?

Indeed, having Fitz as captain would be sensible, Long is a great player but also has (by his own admission) behaved poorly off the field.

thats the point i was making

Behaved being the key, however he has clearly grown up and settled down now, this is a good opportunity for him to develop his skills further, I am sure he would love to lift some silverware as a captain and this will add further motivation for him, I am actually a fan of a half/back to be a captain as they are in an ideal place to lead the team.
Good luck to the kid.

Spot on Bitch.

Yes, some people love to find something to moan about or a negative aspect of the club, dont really think the choice of captain is really a big deal, much like squad numbers but people still critised the club for that.

It is far better than Radford and could mean Radford isnt in the first choice, hopfully anyway.

He looks like Captain Jack Sparrow

Happy with the decision.

I agree they do but I saw none of that on here, just people debating the options and the merits thereof.

Lets hope so, still a good squad player but would not be in my 17 every week.
