Murphy to lead again in 2017

[kruddler]

Even with the retirement of Walker and Simpson coming to the end of his illustrious career, I'd be very surprised if Cripps and Weitering get the top jobs so soon.  I reckon Docherty will be vice-captain or captain before Cripps or Weitering get the nod and I suspect Ed Curnow is ahead of them too.

It will be interesting to see whether Weitering makes the leadership group this season ... and whether Gibbs is returned  ???

Rowe and Kreuzer could be leadership group candidates.

I reckon even Army could be a smokie for the leadership group. Won some community awards...
