| Quote: Cruncher "I know this will be a heresy to some, but I'm really beginning to wonder what the point of Lockers is these days?
No disrespect to the guy. He's been a champion player for years, but it's embarrassingly obvious that he's now past it.
Sure, he can still make defence-splitting passes, but most of the time when he's selected (and that's not very often, because he's rarely fit) it means that we'll be a man down from about 15 minutes in.
It's just getting silly, and if Shaun Wane can't see that, then hopefully Adrian Lam will.'"
Sadly I think you’re right. It’s plausible that he will retire at seasons end, which in the grand scheme of things is probably the correct way to go.
As for his replacement at LF, I’d go for Hamlin. Granted he doesn’t have the hands of Lockers but as I’ve said before, the LF role has developed into that of almost a third prop forward. Props these days are passing more and more hence the development of the LF into a third prop

He's a massive loss if he does retire. Not just him directly, but with Tomkins going we are will be down two ball players and organisers. Hardaker is a different player to Tomkins and SOL is a different player to everyone. It's a double whammy if they both go, which makes me think he will carry on for one more season.

| Quote: Trainman "Lockers fitness wise is on the way out. I’m sure he has various dispensations on the cap so I doubt his wage weighs too heavily on our cap.
When he does play his influence and ability is invaluable and he’s worth a playing contract on that alone.'"
But that only really applies if, on the few occasions he plays, he can give us a good 30/40 minutes. Usually it's about 15.

He limped off early v Wakefield and didn't return.

Very underrated player IMO, played a huge part in us getting to, and winning, the finals in '13 and '16.

| Quote: REDWHITEANDBLUE "Read the disciplinary outcome. Wakefield as you know had 2 yellow cards Nothing for Ashurst no cruncher and Grix yellow card sufficient for the leg lifting the other leg lifting was a bit of a joke. Greenwood's offence was in the 14th minute on Crowther rather ironic that he gets a ban but nothing seen last week except young Jordy left on the ground. It could have been a different outcome but hey ho that's how it is.'"
but it was a crusher and both were left lifts so its a joke how we cop a ban and wakey dont. A crusher nearly always results in a ban.....

I kind of agree it will be a double whammy but in fairness Lockers hasn’t really played a lot of minutes this season even if he has played in most games so I don’t think the blow will be as big as we would have expected

I agree Grimmy. I also feel we're a better side with Flower on the pitch.

Watch it again he leaves room for his head and neck to pass safely through and very little pressure on head and neck. He made meal of it and got our lad binned by cheating. The video ref should have probably looked at it a few more times and should have been play on. Your lad should have got a red as the description says forcefully applying pressure to joints to cause injury.
