| Mullaney has possible been our best player going forward so i will be gutted if its him. His kicking been bad though but not the worst ive ever seen. Rapira has also given his all and made good yards for us when he plays but hes always injured. Smith, well i think hes only had one good game for salford and that was on th opening day. He catching is bad, his kickin up the field been terrible and people know what hes going to do before he does. Im gutted cos when he played against us last season he was awsome but he isnt doing it for us this year

| Confirmed as Locke - Barker's latest tweet:
Neil Barker @NeilBarker14 21m
Total respect for the Doc - he confirmed Locke but said do not use it - I did not - only come out since NZ sources acted on MEN speculation

| It could all turn out badly yet. Barker said discussions are at a delicate stage.

| Jumping the gun I know but assuming two players are leaving, is this wise business just a few days before a massive cup match? Personally I'd imagine this speculation would be quite unsettling for the team.

| That's why it helps when people keep schtum and don't start posting rumours on message boards.

Do you honestly expect a story of this magnitude (Started by a RL journalist on Twitter) not to be posted and discussed on this fans forum? Come on. If the Doc wanted to keep it schtum the last person he should have told was Neil Barker.

| I was joking, but in all seriousness when things are as delicate as they are this is the last place you want them to be discussed.
In all fairness to Barker I don't think he has still mentioned anyone's name and has just passed on what a NZ website had posted. It appears the Doc has told him to be quiet and he has.
If it comes off, it's huge. I just hope we don't jeopardise it.

Jeez. Not the usual suspect is it (whatever he's calling himself this week)?

| Totally but the Doc probably assumed by telling Barker to keep it quiet also involved not mentioning two players are possibly leaving and mentioning a player from NZW could be signing. It seems Neil Barker conveniently interpreted this as not to actually reveal the name of the player but drop lots of hints on a social media site.

| Do you really think the Doc didn't know what he was doing when he told Barker not to mention the name?
I think Dr K perfectly understands the press and how to use it!!

I'm not sure because there was talk this morning of the Doc telling Barker the deal was at a delicate stage. Furthermore if you were signing a high profile International player of this standing would you not want maximum impact through the media rather than it coming out before a deal is actually done?

I think it is a wonderful demonstration that Dr K will not be allowing the grass to grow under his feet and will be backing his new head coach;big time.
Mr Mole's twitter has the best line - forgive my theft of intellectual property -
@RLW_Mole @raelenecastle @NZWarriors @SalfordDevils yer that's what I read about, Salford. surely to good to go to England just yet.

It would appear Barker has been told in absolute secrecy, otherwise you would have seen an article on the MEN by now.
I think he's learnt his lesson (MK) he's going about recruitment in a much more professional and dignified manner. Cards are well and truly being kept close to his chest.

| Come on, there's no such thing as talking to journalist in "absolute secrecy" - if you say anything to a journalist you are doing it quite deliberately for a purpose.

I don't know the details of Barkers chat with MK, but if it was anything like mine I was told in no uncertain terms if this was spilled it would be the last bit of info we'd hear from the club.

| The Lurker - Down Under - Has written this: Locke off to England?
[iClassy Warriors fullback Kevin Locke finally made it back onto the field last weekend - but could be lost to big-spending English club Salford. The cashed-up Reds are keen to sign Locke and may get their way, with the Warriors committed to keeping high-priced Englishman Sam Tomkins in the fullback spot. Locke returned from a knee injury he sustained in the World Cup in the NSW Cup and will push for a wing spot at the Kiwi club in coming weeks. But Locke, one of the best attacking fullbacks in rugby league, would be wasted on the flank and the Warriors could release him as they are keen to bolster their struggling forward pack with a few big names. [/i
I would guess it was written before Mr B went to print.

Nobody on this side of the world has said anything, all names mentioned have come from down under.
I don't think a single source over here has confirmed a name, as of yet.
