Will he be playing on pain killers?

He shouldn't have played in the cc i expect him to be in the squad this week

Although defence was excellent last night, we still miss his link up play, and this could be our main weakness if he is not available for the final..

I think he'll play. Fair play though Flower was excellent last night but if Lockers has any chance of playing I think he will.

The specialists should know what they are doing. He shouldn't be risked if it hasn't healed properly as it could cause him problems for the rest of his career.

I don't think we'll see him in the team, i i was Wane i'd name him in the 19 just to get people talking.

Hopefully he can lift the cup with Sam.

" Wane said he hopes skipper Sean O'Loughlin will make his return from an Achilles injury against Warrington"

He still had his boot on last night and looked to be limping (although that may have been because of the boot.

He will play.

He will not play from lockers himself last night in the sponsors lounge

I'd rather player Flower than a 50% O'Loughlin

That's not the question. 50% Lockers or Hughes / Logan / Crosby? Is he 50% (don't play) or could he do 1/2 a game at 75% (worth thinking about).

Really no point in risking him, could potentially end his career if he played, and where really going to need him next year to have a chance of competing for trophies as our team is weaker next season again IMO

I also saw him in the sponsors lounge and it didn't sound like he expecting to play in the GF. It's a shame because with him in the side I'd put our chances against the Wolfs as 60:40 in our favour but without him it would be 40:60, he really is that important to this side.

It would be madness to risk him if there's any significant chance of long term repercussions if he plays. Hopefully he will be ready to face the Aussies, we are going to need him, he is one of a handful of genuinely world class players we have.

Lockers has had a brilliant season and is a key part of our attack and defense. However, I would like to see him picking up a World Cup winners medal with England. A long shot maybe but he has every chance of representing his country if he isn't crocked and the Grand Final is a week too soon for me.

Love it at times like this when everyone becomes a doctor. If he is ready he will play, if not he wont. People a lot more qualified than us will make that call. No matter what they decide it will be the right choice for Wigan & Sean.

I think Lockers is a fantastic player but there is no way I would play him, even if he was able to play again. He was out for quite a while before the Challenge Cup final and has had a pot on for 4 weeks. There is absolutely no way that he would be anywhere near match fit and he wouldnt be able to cope with the pace that the game will be next week.
