Not got a clue how he would be able to be accommodated under the salary cap but it appears Locke is being released early to allow him to come over. Could be the spark for a better second half of the season. www.stuff.co.nz/sport/league/101 ... r-squabble

Cue for another riveting discussion with Nottinghamtiger on whether or not he'll get a visa - can't wait!!

Get ready for the hordes of Salary cappers and part-time immigration lawyers to flood the Turkey once again.

Is he here yet

Just spotted him and Shaun Wane getting pudding and chips at Captain Cod on Eccles New Road. Make of that what you will.

I think the good Doctor will have to work more magic to get him a visa. He may get it for next seadon. Crunch game next Sunday - we need as much support as possible. Who are you bringing?

without gravy? Peasants...

I don't think the Captain Cod on Eccles New Road sells gravy, the one on Eccles Old Road however does sell it.

Locke had curry sauce. Maverick. Wane just had a can of Lilt.

And aye, Eccles Old Road. Balls.

They only sell dandelion and burdock or shandy bass so i now know you are telling untruths.

Ohhh Granny MR used to make home made D&B.

I'm loving the 'Seen' banter at the moment. It gets better every time.

shut up you bunch of bar-stewards... do you know how long it is since I had proper chip shop gravy on my chips????

I've heard on very good authority (at least two Salford taxi drivers) that Captain Cod are now stocking Vegemite to put on the chip barms

Proof if needed that he'll be here soon

Just to confirm - my sighting of Shaun Wane in front Swinton Town Hall was genuine even though everyone has got it down as a WUM.

Dr K confirms on twitter that Kevin Locke is coming over early. Awaiting a visa and then he's Salford bound.

What date does locke's visa need to be done by ?

He is a regular at Puccinis .

There possible scenarios from Locke coming over early:

1. Salford sneak 8th giving everyone a lift regarding the prospects for next season.

2. The current poor run continues, Locke becomes disillusioned and re-signs for an NRL club in the off season.

3. Points deduction for breaking the cap sees us relegated.

Take your pick!

I wouldn't get too excited just yet because it's currently taking 2-3 months for UK work permits to be granted. www.ukimmigration.com/employer/u ... ermit5.htm

As long as he's here for a few games at the end of the season! this will help him get used to the surroundings etc. And next season i have all the confidence we'll be a much better side!

How long did it take Mauro and Foran to arrive last year? Would have thought if he does get too play this season it will be for the last month or so, the fact that we have some vital games in that month makes it a real boon if does play.

Will his driving while disqualified offences (x3) delay/disallow his visa

He's married a girl from Castleford so it should be fine.

Who knows?

During pre-season we had dozens of Lawyers both real and imagined telling us we'd never get Chase due to visa issues. Turns out that they disappeared forever after he came to us, although I'm assuming one or two will surface now that Locke is coming over.

My point being that we can speculate all we want, and we can be told by 'People in the law business' but we simply do not know.
