I'm not onboard with walker either. Someone earlier compared him to Iestyn which was appalling. Iestyn in his day is head and shoulders above anyone in our current squad. Walker has enough on his plate learning how to pass so don't see him as captain material at this point.
I know people will say "Kevin Sinfield" but it really is hard to captain any SL side, let alone Leeds, when you're so young.
Ward is the standout candidate for me. I worry about the cultural impact if bringing in yet another highly-paid Aussie who will then captain the side. They'd have to be top drawer.

I totally agree and as per my previous comments around top class Aussies, they don't stick around often.
We need to appoint a caption who understand the club, the culture and will in theory be around for more than two years. Some will rightly question wards injury record and his ability to even be a RL player in two years but he is the only real candidate for me.

As a fellow atheist I have similar reservations but believe Jesus existed, but probably under another name. I think this is a Hebrew version of A.N.Other or S.O.Else used in amateur circles. He's probably an Aussie with Lebanese parentage.

Looks like Gale is coming after all, so another candidate there along with Ward. Would assume whoever does replace Merrin might be in that bracket too.
One name which hasn’t been mentioned is Ava. He seems quite considered but he is Mr Consistent. Respected professional, it’s just whether he has the man management skills etc.

I'd mentioned him earlier as an alternative to Jesus... As captain I mean.

I'd agree he probably did exist but more as a well intentioned nutter who heard one too many voices in his head.

You'll be coaching in hell my boy.
