Sculthorpe rapidly declined, Lockers is still playing brilliantly. Totally divorced from reality as usual.

Lockers is the last layer the club needs to be ruthless with. I get the concern we are over reliant on him but the fact remains we are far better when he plays. Plenty of other dead wood to cull before Lockers that I suspect are retained more because they are Wane's mates than due to what they offer as players.

It's the over reliance that means we can't lose him yet! Next season (possibly the season after depending on his fitness) needs to be a transition year in which we learn to live without him on the field. Its time for somebody (I'd say Bateman) to really step up.

How on earth does Paul Sculthorpe spring to mind? He played about 20 games in his final 2 years at Saints before retiring at the age of 30. O'Loughlin turns 35 next month and is still our most influential player and the captain of England.
It ain't your kipper that's whiffy pal it's your ars3 from all the sh*t you chat out of it.

When you get a coach who has been at the club a long time and served various roles he is bound to become close to the players. The upside is performances like the Grand Final last year, which I doubt any other coach could have pulled off. Loyalty can be a powerful persuader. The downside is that he is too close to some players and finds it hard to drop them.
I have argued, like yourself, that many of the senior players need to be replaced. However, there is always the possibility that Wane will get the likes of McIlorum and Tomkins (x2) playing like we know they are capable of. I for one, would like to be proven wrong on this one.

I doubt anyone does mark your words at all, on this on any other subject, considering the rubbish you come out with.

I think your comments about Sculthorpe got people sitting up more than Lockers

| Quote: Pieman "I think your comments about Sculthorpe got people sitting up more than Lockers'" The comment about Sculthorpe was aimed at him not hanging his boots up on a high instead he showed himself up big style by carrying on when he couldn't, Lockers could have retired on a high after last years GF and gone right into the coaching set up, this season we would got over him not playing and next season would have been cakes and pies all the way, just hope Lockers and the club haven't made a huge mistake that makes them look more of a laughing stock than they already are
