Yep picked this up too. However you look at the entire front Row...
Walker, Simpson, Docherty, White, Cripps, Rowe, Daisy (and a few others) are all the senior guys or what you would call leaders at the club. It was quite encouraging that we do have a core of experienced guys here to build with the young guys.

Gibbs is set to be named captain for 2016, with Cripps to be named in an extended leadership group.

If true then I'm surprised about Gibbs but not about Cripps.
Reality always wins in the end.

I'd be surprised about both, especially given Gibbs support for Murphy a couple of weeks back and the clubs earlier statements about Cripps already having enough to worry about!

I wouldn't be surprised if Gibbs gets the nod, as he is arguably our most important player right now all things considered, and he has been exceptional this off season apparently.
If Murphy is not captain this year, you have to start to think there is an ulterior motive, notwithstanding a Gibbs or other would be worthy. I am just thinking there's not much we can trade at the end of the year who is expendable but also valued by rival clubs. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying this is likely to happen, but the reality is even at 29 Murphy will command a decent pick in return and he won't be part of our next premiership assault. Gibbs is a year younger and has largely been injury free, so he could well be playing strong in 4-54 years whereas Murphy I am not sure has the body to last that long. But a team up the top would hand over a decent pick for Murphy IMO.

@ Wallsy
Given your Murph comments could possibly come to pass, then Gibbs could well be next in line for the captaincy! If he gets it this year then it would be a strong indicator that we could be thinking about using Murph in a possible deal for a later model, possibly from a more northern lattitude?
