Well first of all and let me make this very clear, I’m sorry that Lockers has been injured and wish him a quick recovery..
Right after saying that.. I feel this is great news for Wigan as now we may be able to put a player in the 13 shirt that can actually play there. This is a good opportunity to move players around to find our best Loose-forward and maybe Barrett is the man, I would give it to Hock to be honest as he can use his hands far better than Lockers he also is a impact player who can brake the tackle unlike Lockers. The man can put his mark on this team and retain this jersey if he proves to Noble that he can hold his head and not make the silly mistake of giving penalties away unlike someone else, this is something he will struggle with. Hock is not or will not ever be captain of Wigan and rightly so. I can’t believe I’m saying this but the obvious chose is Richards
Anyway punch line is Lockers is out of the team and I’m very pleased to hear it but not in the way it has happened. I wish him every success elsewhere
What planet are you from? You obviously don't know how highly Lockers is rated!!!
And where do you think he is going? He is the Wigan captain and he is going nowhere
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan
Think you will find that the best loose forward in the game and the incumbent australian 13, Dallas Johnson isnt an attacking player but he would walk into any side becuse of his defence
Why do people want to play the best stand off in super league at Loose Forward??? I can't understand the thinking behind it??? Yes Barrett doesn't miss any tackles but he spends mst of the time stood in the centres saving his energy. Why waste his attacking skills by getting him tired tackling in the forward pack??
Maddness!! can you imagine St's putting Pryce at loose forward? Maguire at leeds? Trent Barret is the best stand off we have and it would be a very daft idea (thats me being polite) to play him at Loose Forward!!
