According to Wane the skipper isn't fit again this weekend. This seems to be dragging on for a calf strain.
Can anyone shed anymore light on it, this is not a good sign if he wishes to continue next season.
I wonder if the mid season trip to America had an impact because he hasnt played much sice, any thoughts.
As much as i eate the guy i do wonder if he should call it a day at the end of the season and we all move foward, he must be as fustrated as everyone alse by missing some many games with a repetitve injury thats not caused by rugby contact really

When Lockers leaves the field of play, there is an immediate dip in our effectiveness. Recently, Tomkins has become more of an on-field leader in Locker’s absence but again, against Cas, we saw the team lose form when he was forced off with a migraine. If he hadn’t returned, I think we would have lost.
Who will lead next season? At present there are no ‘stand-out’ leaders and unless someone ‘steps up to the plate’, we could be in trouble.
A word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of praise after success.

Can only see George Williams as 'on field captain', a year with Lammy and then hopefully he'll delay that NRL idea for a while. Maybe the prospect of being team captain under Edwards could be enough to stay at Wigan.

People keep saying he's impossible to replace, but he hardly plays anyway. I'm a big fan of Lockers, but we can't keep giving him a big chunk of the salary cap if he's not playing.
He should retire this season, he's the perfect assistant for Lam. I really hope he doesnt push through and regret later in life when he's struggling to walk properly.

Wayne Bennet stated williams doesnt communicate enough in game would you want someone with this issue as your captain?
These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.

he shouldnt go round again and we should aim to replace him with a top quality signing
i think the big issue with lockers is because he's home grown etc i think his wage doesnt count as much on the cap so expect him to be replaced by someone of the value he cost us on the cap

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure

Re: O Loughlin
Williams simply isn’t that type of lad though he seems a quiet,introverted sort of guy,nothing wrong with that I’m very much the same sort of person,as to who leads on the field yes it’s a huge worry as Lockers must be near the end now sadlybill.inger wrote:Can only see George Williams as 'on field captain', a year with Lammy and then hopefully he'll delay that NRL idea for a while.
