Kevin Locke, former Warrior, a possibility of sneaking a deal with us for next year. He is 31, but could provide a bit of an option for fullback.

Not sure we should take up this option. Had some big off field issues with his last playing group

He's well and truly past it, he's not a first grader.

Is he cheaper than 300k? Wouldn’t Widdop be a better option if we’re in the market for 30 something year old backs?

But the important question is, is he in any way a former Titans player?

relax ... the report was he was either signing with the Ipswich Jets or Souths Logan Magpies.
Ipswich has links to Newcastle and Souths Logan are affiliated with us. there is no suggestion from anyone that he is even going be on a train and trial deal with us. they've linked him to us and the Knights, based on our affiliates, who can sign any player they want, 90% of which probably will never get a look in with their NRL affiliate

As much of a gun Kevin Locke was at running the full field to score several times a game if you used him as hooker in rugby league live, I don’t think he would be able to translate those skills into being a good fullback for the broncos.

Literally one of the first thoughts in my head when I saw the article, glad it wasn't just me.

That is such a daft way to look at things. Why on Earth would that have any relevance for us?
If I was Melbourne or the Roosters and I had a stacked spine and already had a squad that was likely to be competing for a Premiership next year then I probably wouldn't be so tempted either.
But we're the Broncos, and we have perhaps the worst spine both in terms of quality and depth in the competition, and we've just finished competing for the spoon, so I think in those circumstances I'd be far, far more tempted to take a risk on the likes of Widdop.

Well it's hard to imagine we could have been that awful without actually trying to be.

He only lasted one trial and one game at the Falcons. Went home for wedding and never came back.

Yes.. We can look globally. We don't have to sign Copley and Mead just because the names are familiar. I saw that Tigers have now signed Gebbie on a train and trial anyway.. So just another player we missed the boat on. Gebbie is a gun and you shall see. For it has been written in the prophecy that a man named Gebbie will run the length of the field and make you poop yourself.

Mate I have seen him play all of his 37 ISC games in full. He hasn't signed with the Tigers he is back doing pre-season with the Hunters.

I clarified that he is on a train and trial deal. Maybe I am wrong. We'll have to find out. If Broncos signed him, I'd be happier than when we signed Copley or Mead.
