Quote: Auntie Social "Does anyone seriously believe that Kevin Locke is the answer to all Salfords problems?

We have signed lots of decent players but they cant play together!

We have a squad of individuals whose only connection to each other is that they wear the same shirt. We need to build a togetherness, not just buy what is perceived to be a better player to paper over the crack.'"

I think you have it spot on, what are the players looking for at Salford as a group, it certainly doesn't look like they are there to put there bodys on the line for each other and to win at all costs. I think the mistake Noble made as I am sure you all already know was to give good paydays to guys at the back end and throw cash at others who had looked good in poor teams and they were more than willing to snap his hand off.
You all know you cant just throw a champion team together,look at leeds saints wigan & warrington it takes years and you have to have players coming up through the ranks who have all played to the same systems from day one. It may sound bitter but my honest opinion is at least 5 years before you can push for top 6 because by the sounds of it you will be starting with a scratch team again next year, I wish you well but even if you start struggling again next year I think you have to stick with Harris or you will all be having the same conversation again this time next year.

This seems to contradict that.
i.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/spor ... /10153493/

Guess it'll just be a massive Brucie if he does pitch up this season.

One thing I'm always puzzled by is why do players need to wait in Aus/NZ for clearance? Surely we'd be much better served getting him ASAP and getting him used too the plays and his new team mates.

If you link the interview and media report it looks to me that the Warriors are rightly protecting their asset.
Think about it if they release Locke before the visa is issued and then if for any reason the visa is rejected then Locke becomes a free agent.
If other media reports are correct then the Warriors have previously blocked a move to another NRL club.
So it seems to me once he gets his visa then they will officially release him.
