    I voted JWH. He's shown leadership this year.
    i'll be happy with the coach's decision as long as it is not Mini. make Mini club captain - works well if you drop him.

      Mitchell Pearce is a monosyllabic, near incoherent wastrel. He needs a major attitude adjustment before he's worthy of captaining the Roosters. Some fine men have been captain of this club, it's only been in the last few years that the captaincy has become a token and been given to unworthy men.

      You don't get given the captaincy of a team, you earn it. Or at least you should have to earn it.
      with your last statement you say you need to earn captaincy, but then you say maloney should be captain? He wasnt even captain at the warriors.

      Has there been a player that has left one club to another and been given captaincy immediately? I can only think of maybe petero, asotasi if they were?

        was that a pic of tom symonds when he was younger, or was that how vautin got so fat.

        i would have voted for martin if he were in the pole. but alas went mumbles pearce. i wouldnt give it to james as he is new and doesnt have the respect of the leadership group nor the players and has yet to prove himself as a rooster

          Pearce. Not only will this help us keep him but he is an 80 minute player playing in the most important position on the field which is good for a captain. I also think he is the one player in our side that could benefit from it as it would force him to lift his game on and off the field imo.

            My thoughts, as well.
            Has to be an 80 minute player in the middle of the action imo.

            Might be the making of him.

              I'd give it to Maloney specifically because he is an outsider. The culture of this club, partying and getting your name in the middle pages of the paper and not the back needs to be stopped. Who better than a family man, like Maloney.

              But this is all bullshit anyway, we know that Mini's getting it. And those who are willing to admit it, know why. And it has nothing to do with longevity of service.

              Manly had it right when Menzies was made captain, this club started the downward slide when they took it off Fitzy.

                If that's true, then we will be having another captain's tribute season and it confirms that our management at the top don't give a fark about us winning premierships.

                  Well, Harry Hamlin had the right idea about how to save the club.

                    as soon as i see the big c next to minis name in round 1 next year, and hes playing in the same team as maloney, pearce, jwh, mk and cordner, then i will discount 2013 as a year and look towards 2014 immediately.

                        no mate, ive already said, personally, i would like to see pearce and mk as co captains.
                        it will give pearce a sense of responsibility, encourage him to stay and lead the club, and it will (hopefully) fire mk up for some spirited performances.

                          I never vote in polls but feel sorry for Shawn Kenny-Doufus having received a duck egg so far.

                          What's wrong with you people, don't you know leadership material when it trips over it's own feet in front of your faces FFS???

                                nothing says 'MAKE ME CAPTAIN' more than running down the blind side, for the 12th time that game, getting tackled, and turning the ball over.
