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.

He's cr@p, get rid.

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.

i thought he was one of our better players in the wire game to be honest other than his mad few mins. I wasnt impressed when we signed him but so far i am pleased and i think will be a loss for saints

nicely put

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.

The end of the world is nigh, and with Mensa member being so excited about the match you've got to hope he will not come up with a bakers dozen brain farts or even a red card, am going for a Wigan loss, hope not, but the Hock factor is not looking good

Oh my, how predictable....

Is this not what sport is all about? Underdogs, injuries, apprehension about the result, we've got the lot for tomorrow. Prefer that to a walk-over/predictable result.

Are you joking? He puts out passes for a huge percentage of our tries, im willing to bet there's only Finch that has more assists. He also makes more than enough line breaks, take a look at his stats
