Nah, lets ignore that. It's all about the captaincy.'"
Agreed.
Lockers has worked hard in often very difficult circumstances with little support from coaches or other "senior" players. It would be a just reward for a man who has toiled for years at this club - bizarrely underappreciated by his own fans (it is not his fault that he isn't Andy Farrell!) and hated by the rest of RL for epitomising Wigan - to lift the SL trophy at OT in a few months time.
