Lockers WAS at fault imo. He was the Primary marker and should have driven KC back instead of trying to tie him up.
Would KC have scored that try vs the Aussies? Not a chance. He has proven this inability on many occasions.
That said, as per my original post, I thought Lockers had one of his best games for us.
Whilst no-one is saying he wasn't at fault, as primary marker his decision to tie up the ball wasn't a bad one. He didn't and so he takes the blame (along with Bailey who should have been the oe driving him back). However if one of your 'favourites' had put the performance in that he did last night you wouldn't be using it as a stick to beat him with. He tore into the Saints players and was good in attack. Our best player on the park by a country mile. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Your bias against, and inabilty to compliment without at the same time taking a unneccessary pop at O'Loughlin really lets you down as a poster.

I'm sorry you're wrong, Locky did what he always does and went to wrap up the ball. IF we are to lay blame at anyone's feet, I was disspapointed nether Piggy or Phelps (both onlookers to the rabble) decided to go low in anticipation.

After one massive tackle he got close to a standing ovation in the South Stand.
That tackle near the end of the first half was as good a tackle as anyone could ever hope to see, a massive hit. I'd love to see the stats to find out just how many tackles Lockers put in, it was a defensive effort Phil Clarke would have been proud of. Outstanding stuff.

He played very well as I have said but the captaincy is a different issue and the is no such thing as leading by example. It's a myth made up to cover up for the lack of direct leadership.

I have played in more than a couple of teams lead by myths then.
Unofficially the most boring poster on Cherry and White.

Of course its made up. Clearly the only way to lead is by shouting at people.
David Beckham as England captain for example, he must have beena mythical leader?
