Agreed.

We're having two seperate discussions here.

Given what's happened to Tommy I think Wigan and the other top clubs will do their best to persuade their best players to turn down a call up from the Exiles. This will kill the Exiles concept.

The fact that the best 17 exports in SL would beat this England side (with McBanana in charge at least) is irrelevant to that.

Lockers to 6 is the best option. Farrell @ 13 will do a very good job and Tuson/Flower/Hughes can cover for Hansen

I don't think anything has been decided long term to be honest. Wane has already said he was considering playing Williams in one of the upcoming games so I imagine any decisions will be made based on how players perform. If O'Loughlin doesn't do well enough against Widnes I imagine he'll look to change things around.

One of the youngsters should have been given a go, rather blood one against Widnes than a far stronger side, Lockers has never been any good at HB, we go from a live wire like Lulu to a monster tackler, Lockers is not a creative playmaker nor can he produce off the cuff explosive excitement like Tommy

I'm of the same view as you. Tonights game is a case of suck it and see, if it works out, fine, I would think Lockers continues in the role. After all I think it's best not to tinker too much with the actual structure of the team. We've had alot of upheaval through one thing and another over the last few weeks, let's try to keep change to a minimum, if we can. IMO.





Rock 'n' Roll.

Keeping change to a minimum would be simply bringing someone else in for Tommy, not moving Finch, Lockers and Farrell.
