Lockers talking us up in the Wigan Observer

[cpwigan]

Yes, so we will have to agree to disagree.

I have been watching Wigan for 25 years and every season no matter what the results there has been a section of support who need and crave scapegoats.

[- psycho -]

lockers hasnt been playing well and has been subject to much flack recently. consider this though. if we did get relegated, and this guy was sold to another club, wouldn't you all moan? this guy, like it or not, could be the future of the wigan warriors so he needs our support at the moment. i admit he hasnt played well but being completely slated every wekk must be affecting what ever confidence he has left.

neither does he do anything on the pitch.He is very overrated player in my opinion.He is could not lead sheep never mind men

[Big D.]

I'll say it ONE more time, take the bloody captaincy off him NOW and let him concentrate on getting his own game back to the high standards they were !!!

We need a really good captain if we are to stay up, who can give the team real spirit, motivation and enthusiasm.
Although we all don't like Stains and Sean Long (as the chants said last week) he has spirit in him that spreads to the rest of the team!
Lockers could be a good captain in time, but at the moment he's too inexperienced!

lockers is one of the most overhyped and overated players weve ever had his skill level for a loose forward or any play making role for that matter is garbage. LOCKERS FOR HUDDERSFIELD.

You don't know what your watching.

Forget Huddrsfield and think what may happen if Saints get hold of him!

Surrounded by that talent he would be mesmerising and would be the natural replacement for the fast ageing and fading star of Sculthorpe.

He would be around to haunt us for at least half a dozen or more years and it would be the biggest disaster at he club since the mishandling of Sean Long. (Not with standing relegation)

Not sure you are 100% right there. Regretfully I have concluded that O'Loughlin is too small for loose forward and too slow for stand-off but the Sean Long bit is spot on, I've been calling for several years for someone, anyone, to carry out the contract I have out on Eric Hughes :exc:

And you think you take some flak for defending referees. I think you'll need a fallout shelter for that little comment!

It's all good practice isn't it!
