If lockers is anything less than 100% he should not play. An Achilles injury can take a long time to recover from due to the tendon having poor blood flow. Even to win the gf it's not worth it for lockers to play if he ain't fit look at how much pace paddy lost after his injury. I'm sure waney will do what's best for lockers.

If players being culpable for a try is backfiring, 3 or 4 players a game on average from each side shouldn't be picked.

It didn't nearly backfire in the slightest. He was his usual self but probably managed about 15 mins fewer then he normally would.

If we lose that game its not because Lockers is out on the field. That would have been a very lazy excuse.

I've got to disagree with this mate.

Purely for his presence and leadership it was worth him being there, add to the fact i thought he did remarkably well considering he's played 1 game in months before this , and that makes it a great decision from Wane.

We were so much more secure defensively with him in the team. Not just for the tackles he puts in, but for how he directs the other players around him. He is a monster, and should get far more recognition for the player he is.

When Pat was lining up the conversion of his try Lockers was busy organising the troops ready for the inevitable Wire short kick-off from which we won the ball back.
