Games as big as Grand Finals define individuals and clubs. Remember, we only rent these journeys. In my time I had Pat Richard's shirt. Ellery Hanley had Sean O'Loughlin's jersey. Sam Tomkins is wearing Radders' number one jersey. Andy Coley is wearing Shaun Wayne's jersey. You have to make a mark in these shirts before you hand it down to someone else. Hand it back. So be aware for 80 minutes that you are not only playing, but you are also writing history and creating legacy. How many people actually write history - not many? A big stage demands big players…..INSPIRE YOUR TEAM MATES. Martin Offiah MBE, pre-Grand Final Speech, 2nd October 2010.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_33718.jpg

You clearly didnt see the words "if you watch" did you. Watch it again, then come back and comment on the player wearing the loose forward shirt......... NOTHING in attack, NOTHING in support play, NO leadership when things wern't going our way, NO breaks, NO flair, NO inspiration ....... just tackling. This is the man who is wearing Ellery Hanley's and Andy Farrells shirt for god's sake.

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif

Then there in lies the problem, he should not be wearing their shirts, he should get his own.

Saints are missing their captain, best centre and best prop this season. I really don't understand the pessimism, it's going to be a cracking and probably close game.

He made the 3rd most metres in attack among the forwards in that game, behind Lima and Farrell. He was also the top tackler. I also think he was the one who took the line on before passing to Tomkins which created the space for him to make his break.

It's not bad for a player who was struggling with injury. So far this year O'Loughlin is one of only 3 players to average more than 90 metres each game, the others being Lima and Prescott.

A massive blow.

IMO after Roby, Lockers is the best forward in the comp.

Saints will be huge favourites for this game.

Trying to look on the bright side, being underdogs will suit us I think. And IF we win tomorrow it will be yet another glorious chapter in the history of the game's greatest club.

Have you thought that maybe he wasn't 100% fit for the Wire game. Il tell you what, lets see how much we miss him tommorow and his 30+ tackles a game, his line breaks and his passing., then we'll carry on the debate.

Quote: 21-12 "Jesus christ, I have predicted a Wigan loss because we are missing our Captain, our best prop forward, arguebly this seasons best second row and Lauaki. And we are playing the form team in the league away from home. Its not rocket science is it to see that we have it all to do. What would you prefer me to say, Wigan by 30? I think you'll find that I started a topic last week about my concerns for this game, its actually the first game I have predicted a Wigan Loss all season. So enlighten me....what is "my methodology"?'"


I think 18 points is a bit of a funny prediction in a derby with 2 sides who are fairly evenly matched even with both sides missing players. Hock has been our best SR but Farrell has also shone, Lauaki though will not be missed IMO.

You Sir are a fool. I trust Trent Barrett's, Brian Noble's, Nathan Brown's and Michael Maguire's respective opinions on Lockers more than yours to be honest

Apart from his brain fart against Wire lauaki has been good for us this season and really impressed, he's better than Spencer, therefore, its a loss and he will be missed.

Those opinions were formed some time ago, mine is based on this season (and somewhat towards the end of last season), and especially the last match. I expect more from our loose forward than just tackling, especially in attack.
