I don't know about Orr as captain but it is very clear that Lock is no captain and is having a very bad season, for me time to get shut of him at the end of the season.
You have had me fooled WW!! Fooled into thinking you knew what you were on about!! Get rid of Lockers? Don't worry, if we continue in this vein we will get plenty of enquiries for him.
The mistake you are making is to look at errors he makes - and there are some - rather than look at the fact that he covers every blade of grass for the full 80 every week whilst being captain of the worst Wigan team in living memory having just come back from a 14 month layoff.
Stats don't prove everything but I would bet Lockers is near the top of the tackle count and has more assists to his name than any other player in the squad.
Compare him to other players. Feca doesn't make the mistakes Lockers does because, a) He only plays 20 minutes, b) He is not often there to make the mistake (see the Saints knock on), c) He doesn't kick.
Compare him to Dallas (everyone's favourite). Dallas never gets criticised, probably because he doesn't drop the ball, but tell me what else he does? He isn't at all threatening any more but because he drives the ball in 4 times in a game he is hailed as a hero. He doesn't kick, so again he can't get that wrong either.
Sorry I have to criticise Dallas to make my point, but that is what it takes on here, unfortunately. :conf:
