With Goody out, we're obviously going to have a different Captain.
Truck or VB?
This could be a massive indicator of the future...

That would allow Dangerfield to captain in 2012 at least.

Obviously taken Doughty to avoid being seen as trying to circumvent or influence the process in place to elect next years captain.

I think you're on the money there mate.
I thought it might be D-Mac; we've had a few guys do it in milestone games.
Most likely, VB/Truck and maybe Thommo will lead (not Captain, but lead) us; I wonder if they've been spoken to in that regard.

Are you required to officially nominate a captain?

Years ago the umpire used to have to get a wave of 'okay' from the captains of both sides before bouncing the ball for the first time. It is a good point, are sides required to have a captain on the ground under the rules?

^^^Not sure.
It used to be that only the captain can call for a player count, but I'm pretty sure this rule went out the window with the new interchange system.
Also there was a rule that only the captain can approach the umpires during the quarter, half or three-quarter time breaks and ask them to clarify their decisions. I'm not sure if this one is still there but if it was then I guess it stands to reason that teams need a specificed captain out there.

Yes, I remember that. And both rugby codes have rules about Captains questioning referees, and referees calling in Captains to give instructions (like: "The next player on your side to decapitate another opposition player will be spoken to sternly". (I played rugby - I loved it; so polite.
)So are there any onfield duties a Captain is required for? When the final team card is handed in to whoever (and we know there will be a $20,000 fine unless it is right - THANK YOU, THE POWER OF BETTING AGENCIES), is there a requirement that 1 of the players is designated Captain?
