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

Re: 2023 captain
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.

Re: 2023 captain
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?
Re: 2023 captain
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?CheshireWarrior wrote: ↑Thu Sep 29, 2022 12:03 pm It certainly has to be Farrell, who else has been so Wigan through and through for years!

Re: 2023 captain
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.medlocke wrote: ↑Thu Sep 29, 2022 12:36 pmIt'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?CheshireWarrior wrote: ↑Thu Sep 29, 2022 12:03 pm It certainly has to be Farrell, who else has been so Wigan through and through for years!

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!

Re: 2023 captain
Farrell is the obvious candidate but i would imagine a return to a leadership group is more likely with Powell, Farrell and Bateman
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure
