Quote: _dyl_ "You mean the brother in Law of Farrell? He is The most over rated player in SL. What has he produced at internetional level, let alone SL level! Ill take Sinfield's 3 SL winners medals over Sean O'Loughlin's.....oh wait he has nothing.'"
As has often been pointed out, Ricky Bibey has a winner's medal...
Done nothing at international level? Lockers was written off before the NZ series a few years ago (some muppets posted on this board that he wasn't good enough for SL let alone international RL) and proved his class in that series. Injury hasn't given Lockers the chance to shine again at international level but I'm sure if he is picked for the 4 nations he will perform well at the highest level. Has Sinfield ever looked good at international level?
Lockers is very underrated. When you mentioned Farrell, you unwittingly put your finger on the reason why. Fans of other clubs hate Lockers because he reminds them of Farrell and personifies Wigan in the way Faz did, but its taken time for even some Wigan fans (used to all-time legends like Hanley and Farrell - now there are two players that really could walk into any team in SL!) to accept him as captain and a class player, Faz's boots as LF and captain were big boots to fill and Lockers used to attract a lot of flak from Wigan fans.
Few Wigan fans are "Lockers knockers" these days. He has been Wigan's player of the season by a country mile; but for injury he would have been an outstanding candidate for MoS. He is bang in form at the moment (as Hull KR found out last weekend). There are many talented players in the Leeds Rhinos squad and maybe many better than their Wigan counterparts. At LF however Wigan have the advantage.
IF we get to the GF then one of the things I am most looking forward to is seeing the best LF in the country, a proud Wiganer who loves the club and everything it stands for, lead out the Wigan side at Old Trafford...
