Probably doesnt matter, next year will be another hard year given what we have seen this season so changing captains probably wont make much difference IMO...

Me too! That's agree with Wallsy, not that I'm an Irrelevant Old Git
I reckon 2019 should be the final year of the transition to the new skipper ... and I'm not sure whether it will be Cripps, Docherty or a dark horse. That will give Doc an opportunity to show his on field leadership although giving the job to Crippa could convince him to play out his career in Navy Blue.
I guess that there is the argument that Murphy would be under less pressure if he handed over the captaincy but I'm not convinced.
Re: Next Captain - capcom - 07-31-2018
I wouldn't want to burden Cripps with so much responsibility just yet, so I get Walls' comment

I call BS.
Change is needed, use the broom!

Murphy relinquished the captaincy when he signed on the dotted line a couple of weeks ago.

Did he?
I must have missed that.
Either way, I think Murphy will keep the captaincy until the end of this contract, and will share it in the second year of his two year deal.

Patrick Cripps will be captain in 2018.
The only question will be whether Docherty is his co captain or vice.

2019, but I take your point.

In fact, Cripps was captain in 2018 ... so MBB is at least partly correct
