Sixers New Captain?

You might think .., to look at them .., training ,
that Weigh was the Captain.
He may go OTT if he was .

Take away the bars and let them fly .
These guys can step up.

Herbie...perfect future captain if he can bring his level of game up. But is clean cut, great work ethic, is not scared to voice his opinion (unlike Ng in my opinion) these are Captaincy traits.

Has to be Herbie. Creek has leadership potential but he's not getting enough time and play doesn't warrant it yet. Saw him yell at Herbie about a defensive rotation sunday, good to see a young player not afraid to call out an older team mate.

As much as I hate to admit it giving Weigh the captaincy might not be a bad thing. I remember between the `85 and `86 seasons that Ken Cole replaced Peter Ali as captain with Bill Jones simply to give him more responsibility, to make him think more about his game and to stop him doing silly things and it transformed his game. Maybe if Clarke did the same (albeit forced) with Weigh he might not be stinking up the joint. Might also give some justification to his 32+ minutes a game.....

Ng sadly doesn't get the minutes to justify it IMO and while Herbert may be a good choice I'd pass over him simply to allow him to continue his comeback. Captaincy might be a bit much.

What about DJ or Simpson?

Ng or Herbert for mine.

I assume Weigh will get it and see his minutes increase to 50mpg accordingly.

I agree with Jack Toft re captaincy ,but weigh is not ready to be captain as NG has been around the club more than anyone else,i am sure owners agree.

Mitch Creek admitted he was frightened of Simpson
at training .
Weigh : " " Sheeit , man . You're scared !
I'm scared of Helliwell !! "

Get Simpson and Helliwell.

The other thing that Darren has against him is the perceived bias with Chek being one of the owners, but if that is a black mark against Ng, then it's a pretty ordinary reason not to make him captain.

Ng would be my first choice. Herbie second.

But, I still think the gig will go to Weigh.

I would have expected this to be a perfect time to bring in Jacob Holmes.

Unfortunately it looks as though we're a year late.

As throughout the seasons trainings, Weigh was mostly the Captain ,out there.

My tip is Weigh. The selection of Herbie would be just too logical.

Ng would make a good captain too IMO, but is not getting the time to possibly warrant a selection. Ng has shown good leadership skills, has a great knowledge of the game, and has a good personable nature that inspires the players.
