Such a needless injury. The four or five would be tacklers ought to apologise to him.

I've heard some excuses on here, but blaming missed tackles on a player for another player getting injured just about takes the biscuit, even though I know your only kidding.

Whose joking? It was all part of a chain of events and the causal link in that chain were howarth and scruton pee poor attempts at tackling millington

Fair play to Locke for putting his body on the line, but it was very woeful from his team mates trying to stop Millington. Just a shame we're now without a world class player, when we need him the most

With the injury to Locke who do you think will be the new starting 17 for the middle 8s! I would prefer to see a team like this.

Hall or Tansey
Johnstone
Arundel
L Smith
Lyne or Riley
Godniet
Miller
Scruton
Mcshane
Anderson
Ashurst
Ryan
Washbrook

Bench

Simon
Big Ali
Sio
Walker or Molloy or Kirke

I would play jowitt at full back

Tricky, I was only joking mate, you'll have to be more alert when I draw you in the semi's

If that's the case he needs to play next week!

Jowitt no question

he should do as he is a natural full back

Sorry chissitt, I was a bit tetchy having watched that poor performance and then my trains home being cocked up

Max Jowitt absolutely no question about it.

Very unfortunate news on Locke

Is any one else thinking that we are cursed

Probably - the only thing that makes it a little easier is that KL was still settling into the team and we never actually saw him at his best. I'm sure we would have done, his class was there for all to see. Looks like L Smith will slot in at FB?

Locke would have had no involvement if other players had done their job and tackled Millington 20 yards out, Scruton & Anderson in particular should be publicly apologising.

Yep me, but it's been going on for forty odd years.

why even play him it meant nothing that game and he was always going to get injured at some point (its his DNA)
WE should of saved him for super 8 games that matter at least we could have got some value out of him!! now we are down

Both Scuton and Lauatiti should consider themselves lucky they did not get the same treatment that Annakin as had over the last few weeks.

I appreciate tackles will be missed, but that try pretty much summed our season up for me. Too many just not looking like they gave a monkeys. It was like something you would see at U10's.

You’re not cursed, he was unfortunately the same at Salford. He just seems prone to picking up injuries which is a massive shame. I expexted him to go to Wakefield and kick on and finally show Super League what the fuss was all about when Koukash brought him over, it now seems we’ll never get see that in Super League.

I fear that Locke will be one of those players in RL that people look back and say what if? A combination of injuries, questionable off-field antics, and I suspect a lack of having his heart in the game has caused him to be shipped-out by NZ Warriors, Salford, and eventually Wakefield. The lad's got talent, but he looks like he isn't enjoying his chosen profession. At least Wakey have not really lost anything in giving him a go.

I don't think he lacked heart for us at all.
In fact the injury was caused diving at a player that others with less heart just waved through.

I would go with that Pop Tart he put his body in the line of fire where others did not I hope he gets over the injury soon and has a better future ahead

I'd say he had plenty of heart at Salford too. He often played when injured, purely because he wanted to. Against Cas at home and Hull away this season he was practically on one leg, playing through the pain barrier but was still the best player on the pitch.

He's just injury prone. Whether it's his knee, grown, shoulder, chest, arm there is a never ending list of problems - a real shame, for a very talented RL player.
