With the unfortunate news of Jamie Peacock’s injury (I hope it’s a fast and complete recovery for a great player) there is now a vacancy for the England captain spot... who is your choice?

I’m going to go with the uncontroversial pick of... Sean O’loughlin – done well at international level despite bad luck with injuries, is an 80 minute player and should be the first choice 13 come 4 Nations time

Willie Manu

Kevin Sinfield.

Burgess or Morley.

Sean Long

Give it to someone now who can lead the team for years.

For me I would give to Graham.

Leads from the front.

Would be a breath of fresh air personality wise for the media, a scouser playing RL.

O'loughlin could barely captain Wigan it was a millstone round his neck.

Burgess too young , Morley too old, sinfield not guaranteed of a place.

Graham whines at the ref too much for me. Not saying that when he actually plays the game he doesn't set an example - he's a great player - but he does whine a bit too much. Irritating.

Graham would be a poor captain. He loses his rag too much.

It will be Morley. He's the vice IIRC.

Gareth Ellis

Morley will be captain I suspect.

I'd give it to Sinfield. Seems a great captain for Leeds over the years.

Morley isn't hard enough anymore. He's akin to a cuddly toy.

Isn't the point of the vice captain to step in if the captain is unavailable? If this is the case it will be Morley.

so who will be vice captain then if morley gets the call

Paul Sykes?

Stuart Fielden.

Morley, Ellis, Graham in that order.

Ellis, will be playing for longer then Morley so no point having Morley as a 1 or 2 year stop gap when you can have Ellis for another 3-5 years.

Did McNamara name a captain to start with, or did he just accept Tony Smith's choice?

New Captain should be Sinfield, even if JP was fit to play

Why?

Steve Nash

Why not !

There are better players in his position available. I'm not a big fan of using players out of position - if McNamara's willing to put Sinfield in at 13, then by all means, he could captain the side. I don't think we should be so willing to play players out of position, and if we do we shouldn't be awarding that player captaincy, when he's not even in the squad in his best (or even 2nd best position). At hooker too, he will only be on the pitch for about half the game.

Gareth Ellis is the obvious captain in my opinion. Was a good leader on the field during his time at Wakey and Leeds and has now gained good experience 'darn under'.

Ellis for me.
