Paul Sculthorpe springs to mind, too much sentimentality at this club and not enough ruthlessness

Are u saying you can't see any value in keeping the current club and England captain? He's head and shoulders the best all round rugby player in the league.

Maybe I've misunderstood you, but are you arguing that Wigan need to get rid of SOL?

Would you like to explain why you think we should get rid of our best player.

It's for next season with another year option (doesn't state in player or club's favour).

Sculthorpe rapidly declined, Lockers is still playing brilliantly. Totally divorced from reality as usual.

Lockers is the last layer the club needs to be ruthless with. I get the concern we are over reliant on him but the fact remains we are far better when he plays. Plenty of other dead wood to cull before Lockers that I suspect are retained more because they are Wane's mates than due to what they offer as players.

It's the over reliance that means we can't lose him yet! Next season (possibly the season after depending on his fitness) needs to be a transition year in which we learn to live without him on the field. Its time for somebody (I'd say Bateman) to really step up.
