I agree Hindy should be used in two stints next year, rather than 80 mins.

But I don't think that has any bearing on him retaining the captaincy at all.

The only people who have any idea about what kind of Captain Hindmarsh is are the people on the field and the coaches.
You can't judge someone's ability to captain a side if you are not a part of that group.

Judge his playing ability all you want, but don't question his captaining credentials.

I also think Hindy is too quiet to be captain but looking thru our sqaud there are not many candiates.Hayne-LOL Mannah? maybe 2013.Burt? will he even be a regular next year?
AS much as cayless lost his skills as a player he was a realy good captain.And although other teams have some more outspoken leaders i think Hindy is our only choice right now.I can see Sandow as a future captain thou!

Too quiet to be captain?

How the hell do you know?

Just because he's not barking at his players or annoying the ref at every opportunity it means he's not a good captain?

I really don't know what you guys want from him.
Once again, you have no idea about his ability to captain a team unless you are a part of that team.

Hindy has nothing in the attacking department and is struggling in general because the team is so bad. I think your teams shitness is starting to wear him down.

The onlytime Hindy should not have the (c) next to his name next year is if he is injured. Then it should be Burt.

Through intense close observation going back over all the games this year and drawing from my 20 years of business experience.
He does not have the psychology-smarts to be a captain.
He is just the Sargent used by the General in the field of battle.
He has the motor built into the winning car but he ain't the driver.

he was the perfect Sargent under Captain Cayless......

Casper actually talking about football and still makes as much sense when he isn't, absolutely none

i tend to agree with casper i dont think hindy should be captain i dont think he really wants to be captain but as for reni being captain i dont agree, ben smith for mine.
As for hindy getting a rest if the sitiuation calls for it he should be getting a breather in a blowout either way he should be rested as for a game in the balance leave him out there

Agree with the majority of the starting thread.

Hindmarsh does stiffle /disrupt the attack especially when Parra are in the opposition's 20 - he takes it up when we need to spread it wide. Almost predictable as when he takes the ball up and then passes to the second man.

Not sure about reni as captain though. I'd give it to Mannah.

Mannah is still pretty young, but think back to 2000 when Cayless was named captain which was a big surprise.

So if, and I mean IF Hindmarsh was to retire the captaincy then Mannah should be considered as captain.

In Rugby League I don't think the captain really is that significant an issue, unlike cricket.
Hindy is a bloody legend and all the players can't but respect him because of his work ethic, he should remain captain.
Next in line should be Mannah - he is a natural - in terms of being a captain. Mannah will be captain when Parra do a victory lap on grand final day - next 4-5 years.

I was wondering how long it would take for some of the Mannah fan club to come into the thread.

He is not mature enough to be a captain - yet.
