Kevin Locke should be banished from Salford RD for bearing his upper body (I wish I could), in Barcelona: a secondary charge of having a f***ing great time should be considered from the weekend fixture by The RFL.

I actually think Iestyn should lodge a claim against Frayssinous for being the most miserable in Super League. The evidence is there for all to see courtesy of SKY............believe in better...........but keep paying for crap month in and month out.

I think the only way that Salford can set the doubters is win something, and the weekend result was a major one..

Today's article in the MEN regarding Locke in Barcelona is nothing short of pathetic sh-it stirring. Absolutely childish and toe curling. I wish Barker would give him a break.

For me "When in Spain Do as the Spaniards Do" so I don't see much wrong with what he's doing.
What does disappoint me, however, is for a professional athlete he's got a cracking Beer Belly!

I've always felt that Neil Barker has a rough deal on here.
He's a bloke with a living to earn and space to fill
Having said all that I just don't get this article.
'The band included drummers '
That's like saying bears just occasionally may sh*t in the woods.
Complete tripe

Barker is to journalism what Josef Mengele was to life expectancy.

The MEN Sports desk and Barker in particular are really scraping the barrel at the moment.

Frankie Boyle put it quite eloquently with regards to journalists...

'None of us would trust a journalist to hold our pint while we went to the bathroom, yet we allow them to be ethical arbiters for the entire culture.'

Less eloquently, yet equally valid...

'Journalists -whose life is invariably a shattered kaleidoscope of prostitutes, gambling, cocaine, self-loathing, literally going through a strangers bins, erectile disfunction and cocaine.'

Say no more.

I rest my case,he does get a rough deal on here

I say fair play to the club for letting the players have a day off for a bit of a day out.

You have to think that a trip to a place like Barcelona for the over seas players holds a great deal of interest.

Is there any inference that Locke had had a Sangria or two?

It is quite evident the club are doing all they can to move Kevin Locke along.

Do you mean as in move him out or get him fit?

Move him out of the club.

No chance Kevin Locke will be a Salford player in 2016. Luckily, he will be working hard to get fit and putting in some big performances to get a contract over in the NRL at the end of the season.

Come on, give the guy some space. He's a young fella having a bit of fun. We've all done this. Especially on a French tour with an amateur club
No harm done, a bit of bonding with your team mates
I sense a hint of jealousy from Mr Barker, who would love to do the same, but his body lets him down.
His mind also let him down, writing such a nonsense article

Very strange affair considering the fact months ago he was the best full back and was h adding to Salford.

Yeah, I get the feeling that this is the way things are panning out. It seems strange to me that Hock received unconditional backing, yet everything related to Locke is the opposite. Like this dancing thing in Barcelona. MK's reaction to it is cold. After letting the Scottish RU speak to Locke, and getting that grub at the MEN to write an article saying that MK wouldn't stand in the way of a move, speaks volumes to me.

I think the last thing they expected was for Locke to commit to Salford. There's something not right about the Club at the moment. I think internal politics are at work.

I'm torn on this, on one hand we have Evalds who is an incredible talent who has that much vaunted X factor and on the other we have Locke who when fit has it in him to be the best attacking full back in the league.

I agree with are kid in that there's something doesn't seem quite right in the back ground, does make you wonder what (if any) influence Sheens has had in this and if the Doc lined up a Billy Slater type signing for next season.

Nail. On. The. Head!

Bigging up Niall Evalds (on the face of it sounds fine), but in the same interview demeaning Kevin Locke by stating reputation counts for nothing and he will have to prove his worth to get in the team. Not great management of your superstar signing who the fans are desperate to see back to his best on the pitch is it? Imagine having an injury, sat at home frustrated then picking up the local rag and reading that. Zero support from his boss.

Then there was the whole Scottish Rugby Union affair. Instead of letting the fiasco of the Saints game die-down and allowing the team to put right the wrongs in their own way (which they have done), Koukash clearly sees his ar$e with Kevin Locke and picks up the phone to SRU asking if they would like to discuss a move with Kevin Locke.

Now this, which is a blatant ploy by the club to further antagonise a player which is costing them a small fortune and for whom they haven’t had any decent return on. Our form hasn’t improved, crowds haven’t increased and shirt sales haven’t been manic since his arrival. He’s gone from the best thing since sliced bread to someone they seem to can’t wait to get rid of.

I have heard a couple of things with regards to what is wrong with the club, but without reasonable evidence I wouldn’t want to divulge but it’s all money related.
