Tall poppy syndrome.

Thinking he wasn't the 3rd worst player on the park = believing he's Jesus Christ the second coming. Look at your own language man! There's only one obsessive view here.

Sorry pal, you are the most obsessed about him, Anybody says the slightest thing about him and you are all over them, Look how over the top you've gone because I gave him a 6, Does the 6 really affect your day to day life to a point where you have to unleash your wraith?

Whiffy's opinions on lockers are ridiculous.
People trying to argue with him don't realise that he's dragging you into the same ridiculousness.

My point

There's a big game on this week, let's focus on that
(One which that vastly overrated Sean o'loughlin will once again captain in a big game/final).

Lockers isn't overrated but a lot of the comments coming from his fan boys are, I'm just being realistic, like I said if he puts in a stellar performance he will get praise, If he is poor he won't, Against Leeds he put in a good solid performance worthy of a 6, In my eyes 5 and below is poor, 6 and above is good, It's not my fault some fans are over obsessed about the slightest thing thing said about him, Now can we put an end to it and as you said focus on the WCC

Spot on Jukesays. As far as I’m concerned, Lockers has been one of the most consistent, high performers for over a decade and any plaudits he gets are well earned. He’s not a machine and I’m more than willing for forgive the odd performance that isn’t up to his usual incredible standard.

As you rightly say, a big game to look forward to on Sunday and I can’t wait!

Spot on.
O'Lock has been the best rugby player in SL for years and even an half fit O'Lock is better than the majority of players in the competition.
A bit of cliché but we wont really appreciate the guy until he hangs up his boots.

He's certainly in an elite bracket for me. A genuine world class player, not too many knocking around SL these days. With his skill set I honestly believe he's the best 13 in the game. Some might say Jason Taumalolo for example. For me he's a different kind of 13, he's an outstanding talent, but more of a 60-80min prop, doesn't have the ball skills or even kicking which Lockers has.

Closest next 'complete' 13 could be Jake Trbojevic. Great work ethic, great ball carrier, and has handling skills to his credit.

I've seen the 13 position used differently, but Lockers for me is the most complete.
