O'Loughlins injury is another calf problem. It's the same one that caused him to miss last years World Cup Final and a few Wigan games this year.
I don't know if it can be operated on or just needs rest, but Wigan do need to be careful with Lockers for his own and the clubs future.He isn't going to be playing in the next World Cup so I think it best he call it a day at International level.
As for Wigan I would consider using him as a ball playing prop so that he can be spelled during games.

The problem we will have is having a long term captain to replace him.

Not saying it is and for what it’s worth IMO he’s taking up a lot of salary cap.

I don’t think he does take up a lot of the salary cap. That’s because he has been at Wigan 10 years & longerancientnloyal wrote:Not saying it is and for what it’s worth IMO he’s taking up a lot of salary cap.
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.

It doesn't and actually this changes my position. There is no way we get value out of Lockers.shaunedwardsfanclub wrote:I don't think the 10 year rule applies now.josie andrews wrote:I don’t think he does take up a lot of the salary cap.

He surely must not be retained as a player in 2019?

I would love to know how many minutes he has played in each game this season

So Lockers was central to our GF win yet Sam was only the 3rd best FB on the pitch?Exiled Wiganer wrote:This is the Sean O’Loughlin who was central to our grand final win 2 weeks ago? He will do for me for next year. None of us knows what the nature of yesterday’s injury was so how about the people who know what issues he actually has make an informed decision? I hesitate to call anyone on here trolls, but it does strike me that there are a number of posters who would pile in on a thread like this who bizarrely are never seen on the upbeat threads praising the champions. If anyone wants to cheer themselves up have a look at his switch for Manfredi’s try 15 days ago...

I suppose Lockers was more influential for England on Saturday as well?TrueBlueWarrior wrote:So Lockers was central to our GF win yet Sam was only the 3rd best FB on the pitch?Exiled Wiganer wrote:This is the Sean O’Loughlin who was central to our grand final win 2 weeks ago?
