[blktreacle]

So I've seen this discussed on a few separate threads now so i figured ill put it in a poll.
feel free to discuss

(mods, not sure if thats the right prefix, feel free to change it)

 

[Choomah]

Has to be armo, geary won't be in our best 22 next year hopefully

 

[saintkildaman]

Armitage then pass it on to Dunstan/Newnes.

 

[Smoke_Me_AKipper]

Armitage for 1-2 years but for me its Newnes. He has the leadership qualities as does Dunstan but Jack is the one for me!!

 

[12Chill]

Armitage then pass it on to Dunstan/Newnes.

My thoughts exactly, can't give it to Newnes or Dunstan too early, Armo deserves to lead us for a few seasons and then we re-assess.

 

[George]

I'd rather go with Newnes at this stage.

 

[cooperrules]

jarryn geary for sure

geary not best 22
armo could be wearing other colours
newness needs to work on his own game

On field he plays the way a captain should but I don't think his personality is a good match. He wasn't selected by the players for the leadership group and has always been a quiet guy. Seems like a good lad but he's just too introverted to be the face of the club to the media and our outspoken leader on the ground. Some players are just like that, even Harvey, who was undoubtedly one of the most professional leaders the Saints have ever had, only captained to side for a couple years because he wasn't really "that guy".

Newnes for me. He still has to improve his game so I guess we'll see where he's at by the end of the season but he has responded well to everything thrown at him thus far. Seems like a consummate professional, has the respect of the players and is a smart, well spoken and unassuming guy.

Jack S is a lovely guy but he is not a captain. Jack N / Luke D are both captain material. Newnes has the game, is in the leadership group, and is a young up and coming player. I'd like Newnes to be captain from next year

 

[Melksham2Siposs]

jarryn geary for sure

If Geary is a starter by next season's end, we're in big trouble!

 

[Melksham2Siposs]

Smokey. 3 years time.

 

[The Punter]

Newnes will be 24 next year. Old enough.

 

[plugger66]

Armo. Second best player and seems to lead well. Talks ok. Newnes is the only other possibility.

 

[dewah07]

Newnes will be 24 next year. Old enough.

just not good enough

 

[sonnywalters]

just not good enough

Really?

Was our best in last week's drubbing imo. Didnt have much to beat mind you. Roo got some cheapies late when the game was over but Newnes was the only one up to it in the first half.

 

[The Punter]

But it's not really a question of who (or how many) meets an agreed standard. Someone HAS to be captain.

 

[nitewalker13]

We can have captain and a vice captain, just like cricket.

Captain - Armo
Vice Captain - Newnes.

Olly Wines....

 

[chris_h_11]

Newnes will have 90 odd games and be 24 by the time the 2017 season starts - I'm happy with that.

Keep Joey, Armo, Geary etc in the leadership group, for support.

 

[Armoooo]

100% Jack Newnes for mine.

 

[Jack Stevens]

2017 - Rooey, Armo and Newnes co-captain
2018 - Armo and Newnes co-captain
2019 - Newnes captain

I'd love for Rooey to break Kernahan's games captained record next year, but we need to look to the future as well. Armo co-captains to take a bit of the heat of Newnes.
