Lockers never shouted when he was captain so it must have been bad. Personally, I would have sent Waney out to have a word.

Lockers or anyone can give to to the players behind the sticks but it needs someone to tell Lam what the problem is.
Trouble for all of them in the coaching set up is, their verbals are directed at the wrong people.
Start with who selects the squad.
The daft sod who sent out an "A" team pack to play Saints!
Then who comes up with the crackpot game plan where we kick long and try to out chase teams who've played four or five games less than us.
We need to slow the game down to our pace, don't they realise this? Do they know how to do it? I bloody well hope so.
Leeds are poor, so to give them a helping hand we leave our three most experienced props in the stand.
You couldn't make it up.

I knew there would be issues when Lockers hung up his boots but not this bad,why was no plan in place for him going?

Ridiculous really I know players such as him do t come along often but to just drift along as he headed into retirement was madness
I and I am sure other mentioned it literally years ago and questioned what the club was going to do but the IL fan club stuck their fingers in their ears.

So the club should have just magicked up a Lockers replacement from somewhere? Would would that have been, then?

No one has said that,frankly he’s not a like for like replacement but where was the planning for his retirement that’s the question that’s been asked,to throw someone into loose forward was never going to work,but to do nothing which seems to have happened is very poor from Wigan
