Come to us.

I know he's had his problems - but when on the field - how good/bad has he been?

It's hard to say really, he hasn't looked fit since he got here. His best appearance was his first match for us IMO and recurring injuries have plagued him since. He's shown glimpses of talent between hobbling around in the games he has played though, if he is actually fit now (which he's supposed to be) then you'll be more than happy.

First game at Huddersfield he was tremendous although not match fit.
Since then,always seemed to be carrying an injury.
Top class act,always seems to have a massive amount of time. Showed big heart when playing against Cas,I think,on one leg.
If he's fit,he'll be a fantastic signing.
Good luck to him.

I would be just typical for Locke to sign for another team and immediately show why our club paid a fortune for him. Murphy's law anyone?

Odds on he will score the winning try in middle 8 game. Sod's law.

And knowing our luck it will be the definitive try that relegates us to the Championship. Yes the glass is well and truly half empty.

Lol. Maybe we should sign someone from Widnes, Hull KR and Hull to make sure (...as if we had the money! )

I hope he plays to his best with Wakefield. He's shown signs at Salford but I don't think you've seen his best have you.

A fit Kevin Locke in my opinion has the ability to be the best fullback in Super League. He'll be a great addition for Wakefield, a vast improvement on Craig Hall/Jacob Miller that's for sure.

We've not really see the best of him due to injuries, but he was outstanding in his first game for us and even playing on one leg and out of position he was great for us against Castleford and Hull FC in his final two matches. I'm gutted how everything has worked out because the lad is gifted no doubt about that. On the positive side for us though it's given Evalds a chance, which has taken with both hands.

With Wakey releasing Dean Collis (Overseas quota player) a couple of weeks back do you think this Locke signing has been lined up for a while? I wonder if your interest prompted Locke to resign?
