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.

if Weigh is made captain I will melt my season tickets now and save myself the torture of the rest of the season.

Herbie is the obvious one.

He has fought back from adversity, his recon,
and on court he has been mr fixit, performing different roles that were required on the night.

Weigh will likely get it given he's the coaches pet.

Darren Ng is good. He communicates well, you can listen to him and showing leadership now that he's in his later 20's. However the lack of court time won't allow it.

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

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.

bring back Coops! :)

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.

The captaincy must go to Weigh so then Clarke can Justify giving him those extra 5 minutes that he so thoroughly deserves!

Why are you all so concerned for a captain at all?
The role is pretty much extinct in hoops anyway, core leadership groups if anything are the hierarchy below the coach.
Basketball teams don't need captains.

Besides Holmes, the most visibly vocal one last year was often Creek I think.

Herbert and Ng are not bad options but, though it's been suggested thus far only as a joke, I'd go with Weigh. See if that responsibility lifts him. Co-captaincy with Herbert and Ng even. Don't know Johnson well enough to know whether he'd pipe up with a bit more leadership responsibility - I assume he's too young and quiet.

Who really cares?!

Jack Toft. IMO I believe that Darren would be the ideal Captain given all the attributes that he possesses and I think you will find that Chek is no longer one of the "owners" but is still associated with the group.

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.

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.

None of the guys being spoken of as potential captains would even want to job!

Ng or Herbert for mine.

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

must be herbert - he will respond like a true leader
very obvious

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?

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.

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.

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.

Apparently NBL rules dictate that the captain must be one of the starting five, ruling out Ng and Herbert at this point.

Warren and Weigh will share captaincy, decided on a game-by-game basis. Ballinger and Crosswell will retain off-court roles and with trainings, etc.
