The problem youre talking about us having is the problem with keeping players who are past their best going, if lockers and tommy had gone end of last season like they both should have we'd have 2 replacements now with a year under their belt for if french and hastings do go to minimise the disruption
Lockers is clearly an almost supernatural presence in the minds of his teams mates and it matters not what you or I think of him but the blokes who play week in and week out with him,you simply can’t replace what he brings to the table.

In superleague games we won with him playing
2017 - 58%
2018 - 75%
2019 - 52%
2020 - 50%
Im not sure that backs up the bold comment

Re: Lam hints O’Loughlin contract extension
This isnt something that is just a lockers issue - Paul Sculthorpe went round too many times for saints, he even admits it now that he shouldnt have been making the team but coaches will put big names out there beyond when they shouldFan4Fifty wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 2:09 pmCoaches are judged by results - correct? Team-mates enjoy winning - correct? So they are all pretty stupid if they pick/enjoy playing alongside a guy who contributes nothing, or worse in some people's opinion, actually detracts from the team effort. Of course SOL is near the end of his career, but he still has abilities that no one else in our team has and I think he deserves a lot more respect than he gets in some quarters.Wigan_forever1985 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 10:24 am Ahhh the old "the coaches see something in him argument"
SOL is done - he's a burden to the squad, even if he plays well a few times he is still a burden because we wont move on fully and bed in a full time replacement until he leaves and we are also paying him to watch most games from the stand - and to be quite frank I hope he isn't going anywhere near the first team in terms of coaching otherwise that's a joke.

Poor decision.
Regarder une fille en bikini, c'est comme avoir un revolver chargé sur sa table:
Il n'y a rien de mal a ça mais il est difficile de penser à autre chose.
Now Europe is just for holidays.

Re: Lam hints O’Loughlin contract extension
Can’t believe what I’ve just heard, O’Loughlin rested! He’s only played one game!
Re: Lam hints O’Loughlin contract extension
3 games in 9 days.
If he plays 2 out of 3 will it still be a joke?

These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.

He needs to play in one, the semi-final.
