I agree, but I'd expect someone of Connor's talent and salary level to take the initiative, gyms are open outside of club sessions. He has the potential to be the best player in SL but frustratingly is stagnating in his prime.

Its frightening that there is not one stand out candidate

Prior to this season I'd have said Lane, but honestly, he's been awful this year. Probably our main culprit of 6 agains in the whole team

Kane Evans for me

we havent a leader at all.we desperatly need,a gareth ellis,bill ramsey,richard swain type of player,a leader and motivator.no one stands out as captain material.

So basically we are looking for an international class second rower who has a great World Cup but is out of contract, unattached and willing to move to the UK and also a natural leader.

And if we don’t find him then Adam, James Clark & Hodgson all need binning.

Many will laugh but given the mess we are in and clear lack of leadership, If possible I’d take LMS for a season. I get his age but just look at the passion he oozes when on the pitch and how he leads from the front.
He’d certainly be an upgrade on Taylor.

No.

and who can play full back,centre,wing,halfback and nine
any International second row who cant meet those requirements need not apply

We've just released Will Smith, he would've been perfect

"James, who does this Cameron Murray play for?

fash for me.

I'd have said Ligi Sao leads by example but unfortunately he gets a few bans.

To be honest I think Sao would be a good shout as he has been one of the few that has always shown desire to play and can't fault his effort. I do believe some of his bans have been born out of frustration with poor efforts around him and him trying to make up for that as well as sometimes playing more minutes than he should be expected too.

Its a sorry state of affairs when you look at the squad not just this season but next season and just can't see where the leaders are within the group of players.

On the bright side maybe its a chance for some of the younger players to step up, Fash has been mentioned.
Of the incoming players, Dwyer is very experienced so maybe in with a shout?

Dwyer shouting motivational quotes from the bench until the 73rd minute when he's allowed to come on and lead from the front for 7 minutes?

I have heard he is very quiet off the pitch though, keeps him self to himself.

I'd probably go with Fash given the poor options available, at least he works hard.

I'd like a captain who plays 80 minutes, that doesn't give us many options a d no real standouts.

If I were the new coach at Hull I'd take the captaincy in a totally new direction.

I'd create a leadership group of Fash, Scott, Lane, Cator and Brown and empower them to create a new culture. Allow one of them to naturally become the head of that group over pre season to become your captain.

You have never recovered from losing Motu Tony and Andy Last. They bled black and white and had strong moral compasses that everybody bought into. Both huge losses when they left.

Not one of them sure to be in the 13 ?

We tried the three captain approach in 2021 with sneyd, Houghton and Taylor... wasn't too successful, could work with a core group of younger players though...if they were willing to stand up to underperforming senior club hull players

Unless the new captain isn’t at the club yet?

Slim pickings otherwise

Thats not just thinking outside the box its ridiculous.
May as well appoint Gaz Ellis as Captain and let him Captain the side from the touchline
A captain is a leader of the team not a group

Can't be Jake - he is the epitomy of what is wrong with us, content to get by doing the minimum.

Fully agree he is our best & only attacking threat but we can't rely on him. Others have pointed out the attitude, frequently MIA against top teams, happy to spin 25 yard passes from full back to YTS wingers who get nailed on the gain line.... Jut SOOOO frustrating.

This club needs to roll up its sleeves and battle for every inch, that just isn't Jake.
