New Skipper?

Yes, all big blokes except for Comben, Silvagni, Barassi, Jesaulenko, Johnston, Bradley, Ratten, McKay, Judd and Murphy    There are some tough nuts among that lot though.

I'm not sure about Kreuzer as a leader.  He may lead by example, and that's fine, but he doesn't seem to be a bloke who would relish a role as an active, vocal leader.  I suspect that he didn't nominate for a leadership role but, if he did, the playing group and coaching panel didn't think he was up to it.

It would be nice if one or more of our 200cm/100kg brigade stepped up as a leader.

Like your list DJ but Bradley and Murphy wouldnt be in my tough nut category, take yours and Cookies point about MK not being a natural leader but I could say the same thing about Murphy
who had to grow into the captains job....I think Kreuzer could have been challenged by being in the leadership group and he may have surprised....
