Yes he looked good tonight. We just need to be careful about overplaying him.

Aye, very good tonight and we needed him. Wire being down to 12 is the only reason we got home and Lockers played a big part in that. It was a leveller then fact that we lost two players to injury so soon we in the game but it still should’ve been more comfortable than that.

For the first game of the season he looked really good. Definitely better for having the full pre season and, as said elsewhere, with careful management should make a big contribution this season. He looked good in the Leeds game and again tonight looked strong, focused and ready for work.

We need to manage him right now. He’ll be important at Cas but then after that we should either rest him against Toronto or manage his minutes very carefully.

Thanks for the kind words about my post.

Not ideal timing tonight with Lockers having to play in the halves for most the game. Ideally I’d want him doing the first 25 and last 15 with Smithies rotating.

And getting rested for home games against bottom half of the table opponents.
