Quote sally cinnamon="sally cinnamon"On O'Loughlin you have to give Brian Noble credit as he persevered with him when he was a bit of a joke figure amongst most clubs fans: when Wigan were garbage in the mid 2000s SOL was seen as the most overrated young player in the game. Remember when Noble would include him in a GB squad, these forums went in to meltdown "if he played for any club other than Wigan.....???".'"
SOL was the whipping boy during Wigan's fall from grace. The fact that he is Wigan through and through and never gave up made people say some ridiculous things about him. Instead of letting his critics destroy his confidence Lockers carried on his development into a world class LF. If he is anywhere near fully fit in the play offs it will be a massive boost to Wigan.
Back on topic, Wire have a difficult transition period. Is TS the right man to see you through this? Mind you, they may have won the other day but Leeds have bigger problems IMO. The next couple of years will be hard for the Rhinos.
