Re: New Skipper?
Reply #27 –
Hopefully the next Skipper, if it isn't Murph, will pick himself by his leadership and deeds over the next 8 or so weeks. Cripps might demand it; Kerridge might demand it, someone we're not focussed on might demand it. It's almost a new club so changing Skipper is not the issue it might normally be. There might be a natural Skipper in this group eager to show his wares.
At this stage you'd have to believe Murph is leading any group of possible Skippers. A lot can change in the next coupla months though. In some respects it would be nice to see Murph unencumbered by the captaincy as he's a brilliant small mid/forward and if that was all he had to focus on he just might produce a season or 3 to remember, though you'd really still want him in the leadership group.
