How bad is Lockyers defence of late, the lad is a liability, he is good going forward, no longer great, but very good not the player he was, and fading fast.

If you are going to throw cash at a half, Ben Roberts is all class as is Mateo.

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

Are you being serious about Lockyer, granted he is not as quick in defence and has missed the odd tackle but he is no liability, he puts huge hits in. You go and watch the first 5 mins of SOO.

He also showed up on Marshal when the Bronco's played Wests, and in the Anzac, week in week out though not on the big stage he is getting shown up more and more often.

Roberts has absolutely owned him today Lockyer is getting everything wrong in defence.

I have not seen alot of him at club level so I cannot judge on that.

Who would you suggest we sign then?

I think the loss of Tony Carrol as Lockyer's enforcer is having a clear impact on his defensive game.

Not in an ideal world but both would be short term and long term good signings in my opinion.

As i said, not sure who is a realistic target/who is available.
