I like the suggestion of Ballin. He's very involved in the game, articulate, good with the media and plays a crucial position and he appears to have a strong future at Manly.
Brett Stewart is another obvious one, despite the legal dramas surrounding him at the moment. If he is cleared there, I would hope it doesn't impact his future captaincy ambitions. Although I'm not a huge fan of having fullbacks as captain. They're too far from the \"action\".
I'm not sure if Choc would even want to be captain, but regardless he is a leader whether he has a (c) next to his name or not.
Kingy is not as strange a suggestion as it might have appeared in recent years.
