You shouldn't be... He will kill it for you blokes.

Being a Parra fan... I hate your club with passion... But I hope nobby goes well for you.

I reckon Barba leaving and you picking up Locke will end up being a blessing for you.

Great signing for dogs if true. Just has to find consistency, not sure if he has attitude problems (sometimes he doesn't look in the game at all) or something else. But if des can make him fire he'll be awesome

Anyone that gets locke should be happy. Loads of potential, just needs a change and someone like Hasler would be perfect for him.

He'll go great with you guys.

It's not just speed, it's skill.

I'm also keen to know why, as a Warriors supporter, you'd be happy with him at our club rather than staying in NZ?

Tomkins, fish a more than adequate back up, extra money to re-sign players, extra slot to keep talented NYC players.

I am happy to have him and have always been a fan of Locke's. He doesn't have the same evasion skills as Ben but he won't need to be taught to put his body on the line as much.

Much happier with him than some of the names I heard floating around like Gardner, Beale etc.

 

[Bulldog Force]

I will accept him, but only because I can't fathom having Morris, one of the best centres in the game, playing fullback.

Locke's definitely adept at putting his body on the line: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47cUjWxVhGw

From the rumoured signings thread

kevin locke‏@kevinlocke014h
I'm still with the @NZWarriors next year so there just rumours. Bring on 2014

Maybe he hasn't been told, or been told to kill any rumours till Tompkins is 100% confirmed.

 

[Bulldog Force]

Well there you go!

 

[tangalife]

Happy to see Locke go cuz we're getting Tomkins and id rather see Locke go and reach his potential than sit on the bench here. He needs a change and hey its more kiwis in the NRL that way.

 

[Bulldog Force]

Warriors have signed Sam Tomkins! This might fuel the rumors of Kevin Locke to us!

 

[Bulldog Force]

It's on... again!

Again if we manage to sign Josh, he should get first crack at fullback.

This story is from the weekend!

Sick of the broncos using family reasons as an excuse to sign other teams contracted players but as soon as one of their own wants to be released they instead lie to the media and attempt to play it off as if he's happy where he is. Just let the bulldogs have him.

Chances are they'll want their $300,000 transfer fee back. I don't see the Bulldogs doing that as we've currently got a great abundance of 5 or so players capable of playing fullback.

Not to mention that Josh Hoffman is on $400K supposedly, and really I don't think he has set the world on fire playign that position. Yes he scored something like 15 tries last year, but only one of those playing fullback. If we get him, we may just be overpaying for a fullback.

Prefer to just see how we go with what we have already.

Exactly. If Hoffman really wants to pursue playing fullback over money (which is a LOL these days), then perhaps something can be worked out, but I guarantee you a contract at the Bulldogs won't get him $400,000.

From the Today show this morning, the Bulldogs have made re-signing Graham a priority, meaning Kasiano, who's contract is up next year, may have to released for Fifita. Souths have expressed interested in Sam as well as the Roosters.

Now... why don't we let T-Rex go next year instead to keep Sam??
