| Quote FataSini="FataSini"Being honest, points-wise we are about where I expected by this stage. It's always going to take time for the backs (esp Dobson/Chase) to fully gel and we have still not seen a fully fit Kevin Locke in a red shirt, I think this could even take until next year if I'm brutally honest. But the defence and the overall fitness is really a worry, this should be much improved by now. I couldn't make the Cas game unfortunately but it sounds like the team were very lethargic. It will be interesting to see how we shape up against Widnes with them having a much shorter turnaround. I know we all keep saying it about every game at the moment but this one is a must win game. Lose this one and I think Harris is under pressure.'"
I feel that Locke, with his 'Star' signing label is under scrutiny more than most, and understandably so. With Star status comes star responsibility and Star wages. I honestly feel that his fitness needs to be sorted sooner rather than later, as I can see MK getting rid if he sees little return on his investment. I really hope Locke sorts it out, as I like him as a bloke, he's obviously good for the dressing room, and he has bags of ability. I just hope it happens sooner rather than later.

I really hope not because that could put us back even further. I desperately want Harris to succeed and would like to think we aren't a million miles away from eventually realising our true potential of a being a regular top 8 team.

I agree Butcher. He is obviously a quality player and a good bloke who could rip teams apart when fully fit, but how long can we seriously carry him playing at about 60% or not at all? It's not doing us the team any favours if they want to improve as a unit. I hope he can reach fitness sooner rather than later because a Chase/Locke/Dobson combination firing on all cylinders is such an exciting prospect.

| I believe the problem with Locke has been compounded by:-
1. Many people expected him to hit the ground running in 2015 after the club brought him in early last year. Many overseas players generally show better form after their first year.
2. Locke's comment to the media about the toughest pre season ever and feeling in great shape.
3. Potentially unsettled by the media stories linking him with a move Scotland RU? And the clubs willingness to allow them to talk with him?
Personally I just don't think he's looked anywhere near sharp enough to his previous standards. I have to question if it's Locke declaring himself fit or are the club just desperate to see a return on their investment?

| I believe we need to give the Dobson and chase partnership a little more time to gel, if Patterson is fit for Thursday game this will be a bonus.
At the moment every game is a must win, however I would like to see more from our forwards laying the platform for both chase and Dobson .

| I've been satisfied with our start to the season and I am currently optimistic for the rest of 2015.
Beating Widnes on Thursday is massive though so much so that if we lose I think it's been a disappointing start and if we win it's been a good one.
That's how important the game is on Thursday night. I fully expect us to win after their short turn around it's makes a huge difference.
Sky Sports need to put an end to Thursday night games for me.
We need to be taking momentum into an in form Huddersfield and then Leeds and Wigan at Home.
A loss will put us under a lot of pressure and we may drop into the bottom 3.

| Ref Sky and thurs nite matches ,
Wait till they start playing football on a fri nite.
Rugby league will be played any other day apart from Fri, Sat and Sun. because the RFL sold there souls to SKY, therefore the clubs will have no say when the matches will be played next season.

| Season so far:
4th highest points scored in the league.
2nd conceding most points in the league.
We got 4 really hard fixtures coming up now with
Huddersfield
Wigan
Leeds
Leigh
Id be happy with 3 points and through to the next round. Stand out players so far for me have to be Rangi Chase Scott Taylor and Cory Paterson.

We certainly need to be trying to get the likes of Paton, Taylor, Tasi and Sau signed up on extended contracts.
Especially if we have a good year to keep the club momentum and team spirit going.
Does anyone know where you can view a list of when contracts are due.

| Looking forward to our game on Friday night. You look to have a hard working squad with a hell of a lot of strike! Will you bring many over?

| I hope they open the away end, Huddersfield fans didn't like us being in there stand last year. I suspect that was being they were being humilated, suppose if they won, they'd had more pleasure.
