Kevin told people close to him that he is off as soon as the Visa comes through.

I have talked with a friend of his , there is no doubt that Kevin wants out effective immediately.

In Kevs mind he is a Red Devil already. He is over the Warriors.

Dean Bell regularly says Black is White to the media. I won't run Dean down because I knew his dad Cameron. To be fair to Dean he has to put up with a lot of offensive stuff from our Rugby loving media.....often unfairly.....he gets defensive and enjoys saying NO.

Dean didn't deny that negotiations were ongoing with Salford.

I have a feling Sam Tomkins will not be long before he returns to Wigan: two years or so would be my estimate. What happens then? Locke could move back? If Evalds keeps his nerve, then I think he'll find himself a regular in the team.

With Williams going to Bradford this week it should mean Evalds takes his place and Locke comes in at FB. For the Hull game anyway. Don't think Locke will play until the home game.

I think Evalds is definite starter but it will be most probably be on the wing, i'd like to see a backline of;

Locke
Johnson
Caton-Brown
Sau
Evalds

Was going to ask how much game time/training do you think he has had in recent weeks?

I presume you mean Locke?

Reading an interview with NZ Herald (I think it was) saying he's been training with Salford and felt a bit sick with jet-lag. Which is fair enough as he stepped off the plane and went staright into a training session. He also admits in the interview that he needs to get fitter. So I'm guessing that him missing out playing every week in the NRL has caused his fitness to drop, so I'd put money on the Hull game as his debut. Would make sense from a marketing perspective too, although it piles the pressure on him a little. Saying that, a player of his calibre should be more than capable of handling the pressure.
