Id take Locke easy.
Can play wing or fullback. Has a nifty little kicking game, can even kick a 40/20!

While all the other teams are fighting over unproven talent, if we could sneak Kevin Locke for 350k a year ... Flanno you'd better be looking at this !!!!

I'd rather keep Gardner on a much cheaper contract than sign Locke tbh.

I wouldn't say no to Locke by any means but I think we would have to pay more than he's worth.

havnt we got any money left for next year all i keep reading is how the dragons and other teams keep signing backs and we have silence on the back front .. boom tish...

it ****s me to no end that you cant even give your own team a 50 50 chance of winning and its always like that except the start of last year and 2008 far out ..ive got a isue im getting a tissue ohh yeah keep the hookers as they are their doing a fantastic job

Thing is I don't wanna sign Locke if it means moving Gordon from fullback, Gordon's one of, if not, the best fullback in 2013. No way he should be moved. Anyone know if Locke can play wing? If so then I'd agree with throwing 300-350k at him.

Also what's the deal with Briscoe? Pretty sure most of us have read that UK article that recently said he is signing with us, anyome know more? Hope it's true because I wouldn't mind this as a backline.

1. Michael Gordon
2. Tom Briscoe
3. Beau Ryan
4. Jono Wright (Assuming we don't sign the likes of Farrell, Tate etc. I still have faith in Wright being a solid center)
5. Kevin Locke

J Wright over Leutele says it all. You've got no idea.

Jesus I completely forgot about Leutele. All this gloom and doom about our poor outside backs I completely forgot we have a good center injured. My bad.

I'll cope it on the head, my bad.

Massive no to lock as a fullback, i'm a big fan but he hasn't improved at all over the last couple of seasons, he's probably gone backwards.

He came into grade on the wing so i'd definitely take him as a winger, probably over briscoe.

Would be happy to have him if he did want to come. He's a top notch defender something we really lack out wide.
