Stop this derailing the thread!!
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

I do actually believe they will want to get Powell involved with the captaincy is some way, so I can see another leadership team with Farrell, Bateman and Powell.

It certainly has to be Farrell, who else has been so Wigan through and through for years! Never seen Farrell have a poor season! I've been a huge advocate for Farrell as captain on this forum for the past 18 months. A few have responded saying he isn't vocal enough? So if that's the case, who's the 'vocal captain' we need?

It's got to be Farrell for me as well, He is a complete professional, I remember when I used to pull Lockers up for not being a vocal captain and 90% of the site would come down on me, I wonder what's changed?

It wasn’t because you said Lockers was quiet, you deliberately pulled him up on anything & constantly comparing him to Andy Farrell. He didn’t need to shout & bawl at players like Farrell, he showed by example.

It took several years until you finally realised he was his own man & if anything proved he was a better player than you originally gave him credit for!

Farrell is the obvious candidate but i would imagine a return to a leadership group is more likely with Powell, Farrell and Bateman
