Stick with Lockers - he's the best mon for it IMO.
Sam as vice-captain? Don't talk wet. He's just done his first season in full professional RL. Let him adapt to it properly first and foremost before racking even more pressure upon him.

Personally I would give it to Leuilali but that's me.
I would also move Lockers to the 2nd row.
I think player and club would benefit.
However, he is likely to stay at 13 and captain imo.

I think this thread just highlights the lack of leadership and experience in our squad when people nominate players like Sam Tomkins for captain/vice captain when he is only 20 and has just had his first full season in Super League. Could you imagine Kyle Eastmond or Ryan Hall being talked up as vice captain/captains at their clubs?

No way should we burden Sam at this point of his career.
I'm sure MM hasn't even thought about it. |

Lockers should be captain no doubt.
Very under rated as a leader IMO

Worst idea ive ever heard, all the player have full respect to Locky and say how good he is, that coming from ex Aus international Bailey. And what has Tommy done to get the vice captains job if we did get a new captain.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

Whatever happened to Billy McGinty's pineapple?
"unless you hit it directly at Paul Wellens, it's several minutes before he'll arrive at the ball." Saddened
"I'm done. Brown out. If LMS, Turner or Walker get in any match day squad i will not be attending from now on in." LFC Saint:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_41943.jpg |

Speaking to SW 18 months ago he was of the opinion we needed more of a leader on the pitch. Question is does he still feel the same and is there anyone better in the dressing room with that leadership quality?

I think even his fiercest critics would agree that he's grown into the role in the 18 months since you spoke to SW though. |
