im sure if you asked sean does he play better when hes not captain the answer would be it makes no difference...he just goes out and does his best whatever the circumstances because he`s that type of player.....captain or not he`d play the same....the question is does the team play better when he`s not captain and again judging by players comments about sean he is someone who is respected by his teammates and i think this would make no difference...some of the comments about him playing better when hes not captain are disrespectful to him as a player imo...

Thats a very big call.

I wish i could view the NRL to see if your correct!

At present on current form I would pick him over Adam Blair, Bronson Harrison, Paul Gallen, Greg Bird and Nathan Hindmarsh, Gareth Ellis, Sam Burgess and anyone else you can think of IMO.

O'Loughlin has evolved into the all round loose forward, many NRL loose forwards are just tackling machines bart Greg Bird but O'Loughlin has everything to his game.

He can put in big hits, has a massive work rate, he's got speed, good kicking ability, tops the try assists and has cut out his mistakes which he used to do a lot.

He is the best in SL at least.

Don't tell Hull FC fans.

I think Hull FC fans saw enough of him a couple of weeks ago to not even need telling.

So under-rated got everything! Been very unlucky with injuries and maybe doesnt get bigged up as much on sky/tv unlike Cunningham, Sinfield, Burgess, Briers etc. I prefer to trust my own opinion and the opinion of top coaches. Believe me Captain or not he is exceptional and if he keeps going like he is he should be MOS at the end of the season. Maybe he doesn't get MOM on here as much as he should because we just expect it from him
