Im guessing Wayne will announce the captain for charity shield plus the season kick off.

My pick is Matt Cooper, he is consistant and never lets the team down. Plus he has rep experience aswell.

Just wondering who everyone thinks will be the captain this season?

Why would Bennett pick Young in the Trials and then axe him ?? Logically, only the non-playing Hornby could be in front of Young.

Young - He's team player and loves to fire up the boys on the field.

Cooper is not captain material, it's just not in his personality. I think he enjoys doing his job quietly and doing it well.

I'd be happy with Young or Creagh.

Ben Hornby will be captain.
Why. Priddis will play a too bigger part in this side.
Young will spent far to much time on the side line.
Head will play park footy - The Biggest loser.

Really, it doesn't matter, there is only one leader on that team and its uncle Wayne

As long as the captain is an 80min player..............im happy. Im just about finished reading bennett's book and I like the importance he puts on the title 'captain'. I know he will continue that here at the saints.

I backed Creagh and Smith before and for mine I have since changed my mind and I think that it's between Creagh and Cooper. Young and Hornby should just concentrate on playing in their own position and retaining their spot and Smith simply hasn't been there long enough (he started off season training late which didn't help). I would prefer Creagh as I think he is more inspiring but Cooper isn't a bad choice either.

I think Young and Hornby will share the duties. Both are "one clubbers" and have the passion and desire required to fill the role in a "Bennett" way.

Young would be the logical choice i think..plus he has been named captain for the past 2 trials, i doubt Wayne would just choose someone else now.
