Bailey has been our captain for the last 2 games.


Any idiot can see that.


He has relieved Locky of the responsibility and Locky has improved his performances.


This was confirmed when JT was warned after the hit on ST. It was Bailey who was called over to oversee the warning, not SL.


Not sure which bit of this you didn't see, but those are the facts.

Btw Bailey was outstanding and Lockers improved his game.


It's a win win.

Such an ironic comment.

Bailey.

He deserves a quota spot tbh. Still undecided whether he should get a contract next year though. Maybe on a reduced wage.

course he has.

Mate you seriously need to accept you are wrong about Locky rather than trying to justify your stance by clutching at straws claiming he is the captain because he was called to the ref on one occasion when Locky was not able to.

Do you not agree we looked leaderless when locky went off?

Seems to me and i mean this with all due respect your often valid opinion is blinded by your desire not to be wrong even when faced with blatant evidence to the contrary.

Exceptional game from Bails imho... and yes, I think we are looking more focussed, more balanced since Hock's suspension. Lockers whas looked pretty awesome too.

I thought Phelps was very solid tonight as well.

When lockers was off the field we started being lazy and unorganised. We would of put 50 past them has Lockers been on the field.

Vastly overrated imo and never in a million years a captain.

But did well when he was on the field tonight.


The key point being that Bailey WAS the captain tonight. Or why else did Ganson call HIM over when JT was getting a ticking off?

Bailey did all the talking? What are you on about? Locky was captain for the KR game and had a great captains game, he was captain in name and on the field with his actions and performance.

Bailey was outstanding tonight, a point i was making by starting this thread. I am not sure why Bailey was called to Ganson, others may well know why, was Locky recieving treatment or off the field, something i think is the only reasonable answer.

Locky was the captain tonight when he was on the field, highlighting one occasion when Locky may not have been available at the time to claim all of a sudden he is the captain, is a poor line of thought.

Locky is the captain and was badly missed in this department when he went off.

As i said i think sadly your opinion is very blinded by a desire to justify your stance on Locky which this season more than ever has been proven wrong.

Locky is as much a captain as I am a Brain Surgeon.

So go on explain exactly WHY it was Bailey who was called over when JT was getting a "ticking off".

Explain why exactly WHY in the HKR game it was Bailey who was doing all the talking, while Locky was silent.


Locky is never a captain. He is never a 13.


I only hope that by making him a 12 and stripping him of the captaincy, we can get the best out of him, and he can concentrate on his own game and get the best out of himself.

Bails was immense! Every game he is a solid, honest, hard-working player who does a lot of the un-noticed 'donkey work' & gives the more flamboyant players a platform to cut loose.......but these last 2 games he has really stepped up another gear & fully deserved his Sky MOTM!

Hope he signs a new contract, he's well worth a quota spot & although he is an Aussie, he clearly loves Wigan & has always stated his love for the town, club & people of Wigan!

IL - sign him up!

I do not know why he was called over it can only be because he was vise captain. Locky was the named capatin tonight, so musty have been unavailable at the time. If Locky is available and named captain which he was Ganson cannot just pick who wants or thinks to be captain to come over. I am sure someone will be able to explain where Locky was at the time. What i do know is Locky was named captain, led the players out of the tunnel as captain and was the on filed captain. To use 1 occasion where i am sure someone will explain why Locky was not available as justification of your point is laughable, and smacks of desperation to save credibility which sadly is long gone with the standard of post i am responding to.



What exactly do you want from a 13 to claim he is not a 13 by the way?

Go on make it a hat trick, blame the salary cap.
