Id would make Fielden Captain. When he was co-captain with Bailey a few games last year it improved his own performace and he really led by example.

wasn't it his quick hands that lead to the first try?

Yeah and he had a hand in the bailey try, no pleasing some though

Yes, so he was involved in 3 of our tries last night and theres still people having a go at him

I'm guessing the same usual people missed 3 of the 5 tries that Locky was involved in. Aye, he has no attacking influence at all does he?

fighting an impossible battle, even if 16 of our players got injured against st helens at wembley and he carried on, scored 5 trys on his own and won the match he still would get criticised on here!!

Yes, we miss them every game don't we, o no, wait a minute, he only has one good game out of five, stroll on

How would you know from listening to the radio or watching them on sky?

Don't you mean one bad game in 7 so far....

If your gonna start this at least get your facts right!

BK, by and large you write some reasoned stuff, but your posts on O'Loughlin are ridiculous. Had Barrett made that perfectly weighted kick that lead to a try you would have been hailing him as a genius. Because it was LOcky it was 'entirely the wrong play, we were lucky with the result'. So seeing the full back was out of position and the defensive line flat and moving forward, backing his speedy winger to beat a turning defence to the ball and then placing the kick to perfection was 'entirely the wrong play'. We weren't 'lucky with the result'. It was done with consumate skill from both players and the result was entirely justified. Don't be selective in what you consider good rugby based only on the player doing it. You, yourself have been crying out for him to show more invention in attack and then when he does, and executes it to perfection, you criticise him for it. Take a look at your instant negative stance on O'Loughlin. It's seriously letting you down as a credible poster.

I honestly can't believe this thread. We won and the first thing the OP does is come on here to criticise. Lockers IMO had a good game. Lockers is the captain and will be for a long time, some people need to get a f*cking grip.

You calling me a category 3 supporter like

Here Here

im sick of hearing about our captain, he had a cracking game last night, did nothing at all wrong, there are people on here constantly goin on about our captain, he playing well. if he wasnt captain would people still say hes a bed player and has bad games

The only good thing about threads like this is that the anti-knocker brigade is growing and getting angrier at the Lockers knockers!

Here's a radical idea. Why don't Wigan fans get behind our captain for a change and stop falling for the anti-Lockers propaganda (which goes back years to when Stains fans, Wire fans and other assorted muppets were suggesting he wasn't even good enough for SL let alone GB, then the Kiwi series came along and he blew that myth out of the water and then suddenly there was a change of tack and he's a rubbish captain.. this is the same anti-Wigan bile-fuelled nonsense that was levelled (albeit less succesfully) at Faz over the years until he was lost to our game and suddenly even Stains admitted he was a legend of modern RL).

Why don't we get behind our captain - for me pre-season and so far this season he's been one of our better players and his commitment can't be faulted - and back a proud son of Wigan loudly at the Bradford game?

shut up you whining b@stard pmsl

Please read the bold re; the two dumplings on the 3rd page of the thread who are coming across extremely thick!

Don't sit on the fence fella.

Call it as you see it.

Dont need to be reading that drivvel tho eh? ive had a stress filled sporting week as it is

Mini has quite enjoyed it.

He's just finished watching supercallybeattherangers.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - Ya Dancer!

Mini and I had a decent day as he was reporting latest scores to me at Quins last Sat - 7 times he visited!

Oh - and it's your round too, DB!

Come on ladies lets keep on topic. Captain is fab eh?

Getting stressed, David? Yes, Captian is fab

But it's still your round, mind! Be on our way once our game v the Buddies has finished

If anything I sort of feel sorry for Lockers and the way the club gave his the capt and how people linked him to faz cos he was a 13 and the family connection.

If lockers had been a hard working/graffing SR making powerful forward runs being put through gaps by a creative halfback pairing and skillful 13 we'd all love him by now...

We all love the captian
