Fullback Kevin Locke candid on driving force behind NRL return with Manly

Sounds like every other "wanna be" on the comeback trail to me.

Good luck to him, and I hope he suceeds. He is a pretty decent footballer imo.
 
As much as our 2017 signings have been lambasted by people in here & in the media I really have a good feeling about next year!! If Locke & Uate can get their acts into gear, I think we have something to look forward to!! I was quite disillusioned after the year we had & reading all the doomsday comments, but I'm really starting to get pumped & can't wait to see who our run on side will be!

Wait a sec - we need Locke and Uate and Meehan and Hopoate and Sironen and really Walker too to get their acts into gear, for Green not to turn into a pumpkin now he's away from Melbourne and Barrett to prove his chops.

I am still optimistic but let's also be realistic about the task at hand.

I agree Loobs!! Yes the players have all gone thru a rough patch, however I'm pretty sure they didn't come here to play reserve grade & definitely have a point to prove & that can only be a positive thing! IF, yes I know it's a big if, but if they fire then we're gonna cause plenty of headaches for opposition teams.

Not all will be 2017 superstars BUT not all will be 2017 duds either!!
 
This guys could literally go either way. I hope he is on the up.

If he is in the side I just hope its not at centre. I guess it depends if Snake plays or not. If Snake doesn't play it would be massive for us if he could get back to even 75% of his Warriors form at fullback. Assuming Uate and Jorge have a wing each I'd like to see a starting 5 of Locke Uate trebojevic Walker and Taufua.
 
Are we really complaining about how small players are? Size doesn't matter, ie JT, Moses, Toovey, Koroisau, Milford, Kata these players are all small but they still played and play well despite it. Being small can also be an advantage.
Yup more high tackle penalties 😉
 
Mate Lachlan cootes tiny,but you tell me if you've seen a better fullback his size run the ball back at speed,so your quote doesn't stand up sorry.
It does hold up because it's my opinion. Are you telling me it doesn't worry me? How would you know that? That aside Lachlan Coote has been pretty injury prone thus far.

If people are saying he could play centre then yeah it matters. You listed a bunch of halves and a hooker. He's obviously talented but he is a small guy.
