LYNCH TIPPING KING T O STAY WITH SUNS IN BID FOR GL ORY

-

FORMER Gold Coast captain Tom Lynch believes his heir apparent Ben King will remain at the Suns given his determinat­ion ation to build something special at the expansion club.

And while Lynch says he will not aggressive­ly chase Richmond’s captaincy, the former mer Suns skipper says it t would be an honour to captain the Tigers.

Lynch said only hours before King’s ACL tear he still believed King would remain at the club as he considers a decision believed to be between the Suns and St

Kilda. The pair share a management group and while Lynch says he is not in a position to give King K advice, he believes belie he will stay. Lynch gave the Suns eight e years of service before returning to be closer to family, winning two premiershi­ps pr in his first two seasons at Punt Rd. “I don’t d think I could give advice. He looks like he loves it up there, he has been playing great footy,” he said. “He is a super talent, impressive young kid, but from all reports it looks like he loves it up there and he’s pretty keen to stay.”
