If I were the new coach at Hull I'd take the captaincy in a totally new direction.

I'd create a leadership group of Fash, Scott, Lane, Cator and Brown and empower them to create a new culture. Allow one of them to naturally become the head of that group over pre season to become your captain.

You have never recovered from losing Motu Tony and Andy Last. They bled black and white and had strong moral compasses that everybody bought into. Both huge losses when they left.

Not one of them sure to be in the 13 ?

We tried the three captain approach in 2021 with sneyd, Houghton and Taylor... wasn't too successful, could work with a core group of younger players though...if they were willing to stand up to underperforming senior club hull players

Unless the new captain isn’t at the club yet?

Slim pickings otherwise

Thats not just thinking outside the box its ridiculous.
May as well appoint Gaz Ellis as Captain and let him Captain the side from the touchline
A captain is a leader of the team not a group

Can't be Jake - he is the epitomy of what is wrong with us, content to get by doing the minimum.

Fully agree he is our best & only attacking threat but we can't rely on him. Others have pointed out the attitude, frequently MIA against top teams, happy to spin 25 yard passes from full back to YTS wingers who get nailed on the gain line.... Jut SOOOO frustrating.

This club needs to roll up its sleeves and battle for every inch, that just isn't Jake.
