    Default Who will be our future captain?

    The title says it all really.
    We were talking about it last night, and couldn't come up with an obvious answer.
    Lomax? One of the younger Forwards coming through? Theo (captained France recently)?
    Any offers?

    Without a doubt Lomax.

    Think I’d go along with Theo, hard as nails and leads by example, just a quiet steeliness about him

    Not sure about next captain after Roby, but one for the future could be Thompson. He was talked about as a future captain when he first came on the scene. After his breakthrough season he seemed to plateau a little before really kicking on again last season. Think he could be a good shout in a few seasons time.

    Captaincy has got to be part of the package offered to Thompson in order to keep him away from the NRL offers.

    We were thinking along the lines of a player from our future 'core'. I'm not sure if Coote would be here for long enough, but you never know.
    Interesting what St Christopher is saying above about Thompson being 'talked about' as future captain. I guess that's why we were discussing it as we haven't picked up on any such talk.

    Really like Coote as he keeps getting better every week and a born leader - even taking on the role of goal kicking which he didn't do in Australia doesn't seem to phase him

    There are obvious choices based on what we can see as fans. Depends as well on what they are like off the field and in the dressing room.
    Forwards win games. The backs decide by how much.

    Makinson for me. He seems to read the shape of the game really well, which goes with a calm head. He’s also closely involved in play throughout the game.

    Nice to see we have so many players that people see as potential captains. A few years ago we hardly seemed to have anyone.

    Problem is who will “It’s never my fault Makinson” blame if things go wrong.
