Get Lockyer signed up now, I would rather get rid of Bailey, Phelps, Smith and use all the money we can to sign him, no way on this earth would we have lost our first 3 if he was playing for us. Plus we would be challenging for honours.

Even he would struggle the way we play

Give Lockyer runners and he will show his class

Put Lockyer in our Wigan side atm and he will struggle because he will have no options

The prospect of him playing with and mentoring Sam Tomkins is a pretty mouthwatering thought

Its up to the 6 and 7 to get runners and if they dont give them a rocket, same with the captain, Lockers should be louder and more authoitive. The captain should be balling and shouting to get his team doing what they want, how many times did we look clueless last night with no runners and noone wanted it? Props taking a drive up the middle on the 4th tackle WTF?

Sign Lockyer and give him the captains armband!

If they don't practice with runners and set moves in training how the hell can you expect them to improvise it in a game

I think if we would have had more runners in 07 and 08 we would of seen an even better Trent Barrett as he had to rely on his running game more which teams had sussed out by 08

We have too many average players in our team.

Get rid of Coley, Mathers, Bailey, Phelps and maybe even Smith and get in some top quality talent at 6 and play the youngsters and get a world class prop in.

Ive been thinking that since the Wakey game. Top class 6 and a world class prop and getting rid of the below average players you have stated.
Ainscough showed last night how poor the likes of phelps are.

Roberts
Ainscough
Carmont
Pryce
Richards
World class 6
Tomkins
World class prop
McIlorum
Fielden
Lockers
Hanson
Tomkins

Hock
Feka
Leuluai
Prescott

We could have a team like that and we would not be wasting money on too many overseas players.

8 players from the academy and also 2 English players.

and maybe 5-6 overseas depending on who the replacements were.
