Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 2996968, member: 8988"] I don't know about captain but surely he is already in a leadership role as chief playmaker. If he isn't he should be. That alone should place him in a role requiring a more mature outlook, and to be honest I think it has already been shown in the way he has approached the responsibility and the increased work ethic with it that he has grown a lot from both that and the stability of his personal life with his partner, recently becoming a father. Does he really need to be captain? I think it's unnecessary at this stage and may actually be counterproductive to the goal of getting the best out of both himself and his teammates. When Boyd goes, sure but only if he is ready to take on it as more than just a brand building exercise. Our next captain should be our best trainer, a player others can rely on when things get tough, and someone who can both lift the weight of pressures and expectations on his teammates when neccessary but drive a positive culture within the club as well. There are plenty of players that fill some of that criteria, but perhaps not all of them. For mine Macca is the ideal candidate and whilst not the kind of superstar we normally have, is a consistent player and leader, on and off the field. He handles himself well in interviews and is obviously someone other players look to. Is he perfect? No and someone might come along who supplants him with superior skill but I think he would grow with the role and if Siebold can make a journeyman hooker into an origin star he might be able to get a little more from macca. Regardless, until Darius finally gives in to his hamstring issues its all speculation anyway. [/QUOTE]
