Remove Sean o'loughlin of the captaincy. : Sun Feb 08, 2009 6:18 pm  

I think they should remove the captaincy from sean oloughlin, Sean is a cracking player on his day, but has no leadership on the pitch. To the likes of all past wigan captains. Instead whenever someone scores a try he stands behind the post with his hands on his hips. No control of the wigan team what so ever. Other wigan captains laid into the team when ever they did anything wrong. At the end of last season when barrett was captain wigan did a lot better because he was talking to them all of the time. Sean then would be able to work on his own game then.
You cannot take anything away from wakefield how well they played today with 8 first team players out, but why does sam tomkins not get a start?

Pity he only has 3 of them a year, he is POO the sooner he goes from Wigan the better, 40 tackles a game does not make him Wigan standard

Give over, he is one of our better players.

Today had nothing to do with him.

Lockers is a great player and would look fantastic in a better team, but he is no leader.

Fielden or Carmont for captain please.

I can't decide if this is a genuine thread or a joke thread? I'll go with joke thread.

Think him and fielden should share it tbh, i remember last year when bailey and fielden shared it and it really fired fielden up. Would take some pressure off Lockers too.

Apart from some dropped balls Lockers has been the best player throughout all friendlies and today's game - why on earth would we need to take the Captaincy off him / make him share it?

He isnt inspirational enough ? O'Loughlin is a top second rower but never a captain or a loose forward.

lockers is only an average player it's about time people accepted that.
