Hook may need to try The Costanza Theory on Hunt.

I can understand your thinking but l'm giving Hunt a McGregor free season pass.

I think with forward pack going forward and someone to address his lack of confidence and enjoyment of playing the game .I think it's worth giving a go as captain.He could be a champion if he wasn't so sad on the field

Can’t pick a captain who’s not guaranteed a starting spot. Whereas Sims & Lomax will be among the first picked if fit every week.

Lomax is too young wont happen.

Lomax is too young wont happen.

I still think Sims (c) and Lomax (vc). We don't need Widdop, we have enough experience in the halves, if B Smith is not signed we should go Norman 6 and Sullivan 7 and Hunt to 9.

 

[True_Believer]

What I find bizarre is people picking Lomax as captain. People bagged Cam and Gaz for not talking enough on the field and for not questioning the ref enough. Do you really think Lomax will do that? I can't see him doing that all.

As others have stated, I don't think we have a leader in the team at the moment. I really don't know who to pick as captain.

This is why VC is a better option than Co-captains croc. Lomax VC is a good selection, as he is learning the ropes and developing his skills talking to the media. He also has a long term contract and view to a club he actually "loves to play for" I do believe he is future Captain material.

Bang on, SP.
More than anyone, Lomax meets the criteria for age, contract term, wants to stay at the club, quality of player, rep status, etc.

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

Well in Hook we trust right? I just don’t see Hunt commanding any respect unless he’s going to be taking on the line much much more. Forwards don’t respect a catch & pass halfback.

can’t see anything the club has done in the offseason to say I trust anything related to St George

He is also the only player McInnes aside that you could argue that week in week out is close to our best player in a poor season last year.

I don’t even see the debate. Forwards are obviously our soft spot this year & Sims is the only standout who commands authority to rip new a holes if middle defence goes soft.

With Hook putting a pause on contracts, does it become harder for the club to appoint a captain?

Hook has backed Ben Hunt so he's a fit and he has a good standing in the game.

I'd like to see Vaughan given a shot. He's a rep player, a leader and given he's a prop, the club should want to retain him.

For this year, the captain could be driven from more of a players decision.

Whoever it may be, l hope they nag the refs like Cam Smith does.
I'm sure he works on percentages of getting a penalty.
Its the squeaky door that gets oiled.

Early to judge, but feel the same.

As to Captain, there is no standout.

I'm still guessing he will go with Hunt. I don't think he has earned it, but as another poster said, it may ignite him to better things.

I remember the days when being a Captain meant something special.

Agree with the squeaky door.

Cam's a one off, it's obvious and he's very good at it however, I'd tell him to piss off nine out of tens times.

Spot on, Tru.

I remember when being a Saints fan meant something special as well.
Hopefully, we can get back there sooner rather than later.

Yep... As shite as we have been for a decade, and we have ... running out with the "C" next to one's name should mean a lot. It does to the fans.

Old school I know.

if you’re on $1m a year...and you need to be made captain to ignite something...then you’re not worth $1m a year.
