Just seen the headline on the front of the WEP. Not sure what the problem is.



Massive blow with Burgess also out as it probably means Sinfield will get the 13 shirt knowing McNamara.

I wouldn't believe that rag they probably read it on here, but hopefully true as he hasn't been fit for weeks.

Lockers really has been unlucky when it comes to international rugby.

Shame for him but im glad.

In for an op apparently.

Suggestions it could trouble the beginning of his SL season - hope not

Anybody heard what the op is? Sounds pretty bad if its gonna screw up beginning of next season?

Thank god for that, the less Wigan players in the England side the better. Hope Sam pulls out next.

Being biased but surely this is good news for the club and next season, though not for Lockers obviously.



It's been a very long, tiring season for all our players, so the more that don't get picked to play in the Four Nations, the more recuperation time they will be able to get before pre-season starts.



I know it's not very patriotic but just can't be bothered with the international series this year.

Heighington or Westwood would be my vote. Should have some decent HB's this time, shouldn't need to rely on Sinfield for kicking.

The majority of people feel the same mate, hence why Wembley will be 80% empty for England v Australia.

Think we will see how many players were carrying injuries in the last few week. Think at least Sam, Carmont and Richards had problems during the last month.

I hope any of our other players who aren't 100% drop out of the England squad...I'm thinking of one in particular.
