I think it probably was, or was certainly startting to, but when Madge came in and introduced the leadership team, it allowed Lockers to concentrate more on his game and let others lead the team. We were blessed in 2010 with some excellent leaders, that are perhaps missing now (wasn't McIlorum captain in the derby?), but now Lockers is one of the best leaders in the game. I'm just glad he plays for us!

Disagree about mickey mac
But I like a solid big hitting hooker for first twenty before Roby or someone can come on and benefit with pace

Sean O'L does damage without the ball too. His runs create spaces and cause confusion. He's a very good player.

One of the best loose forwards in the world at the present time and possibly the best.

Some endorsement indeed! They're not the only ones to have said similar. Ryan Hoffman, Jeff Lima and Trent Barrett are among recent imports to have waxed lyrical about O'Loughlin in recent times. My own favourite was the great Peter Stirling during an Australian commentary on an International a few years back who described him as a Junior Nathan Hindmarsh and went on to say he would rip it up in the NRL. Endorsments don't come any better in my book!

Lockers is without a doubt the best 13 in our comp,although i think that Gallen is the best 13 in the world
