Just a thought improved no end always gives his all and accepted a 3 year deal on lesser terms, loves the club no brainer for Marky Boy !

His name is Rhys and no, too stupid.

Sorry Sandra Rhys!

Not for me, not captain material. Great players do not automatically make great leaders. I have seen no evidence to support this claim. Josh for me.

Where do you get this "lesser term" from? You really think he took a paycut?

Think this will a be a tough one to call as dont think we have any natural leaders, not sure what the new signings credentials are?

Dobson will probably be the next captain.



Stan, I assume you mean Josh hodgson and I dont think he has what it takes to be captain, let him play rugby without the added pressure of being captain, same goes for Rhys for me too.

It's hard to see passed Dobson. Maybe with somebody helping out with the clapping-and-shouting part of the role.

*past.

I went to write 'past', but it seemed rubbish. The pub is past the shops, I can see. But it is 'I passed the shops to reach the pub'. I guess it is the sense of 'beyond', rather than 'around' or 'through'. Anyway you're right, I'm wrong - first time for everything.

I don't want it to be Dobson as I think he's got enough to do but realistically, who else is there?

I agree with Obergruppenführer Mild Rover, a shouting and clapping contest should be held and whoever wins to be made El Capitano and forced to wear a beret and grow a big beard.

Next year's kit should have epaulettes as well.

By now i recon that they have sorted out the captain at least in the clubs mind and i would not be surprised to see dobson who else may be lovegrove vice

For me Dobson should be the organiser on the field adjusting the plays as he see's the game at the time, the captain should be the person to sort out discipline on & off the field dealing with the ref, the coach & the board. To give Dobson both rolls would (in my opinion) put to much on his shoulders. I think most clubs have a senior group to represent the team, our trouble is the number of changes that are happening. A stand out candidate may emerge in pre season.

Withers? Very experienced player.

Well in that case lets sign up the guide for the blind chinese triple jumper, he knows how to quiet a crowd and get the attention of his man. And I dont mean that in a condescending way, that guy was scary!

i wouldnt say this was a bad idea he leads from the fron all the players look up to him for his comitment to the cause .......that remindes me of how David Watkison captained with a follow me attitude ...
