Lockers retiring, Greg Burke returning

[menpond]

Mal Reilly was arguably world no1 at LF at a time we were competitive with Australia. Burke could do the same?

[Panchitta Marra]

Will Greg Burke show the same presence on the pitch and display skills that Lockers has provided?
Lockers is one hard act to follow.

Welcome back mp

[bomhead]

lockers does bring a lot to the team just with his presence alone

[Nezza Faz]

Burke dropped by HKR for cup semi with Warrington.
Could never see Lockers being dropped for a big, one off game. His influence alone is impressive.

[bomhead]

have they done this because he is coming back to Wigan though and feel like they should give someone else the privilege of playing in a CC semi

[Nezza Faz]

Wouldn't suppose HKR would think like that,Bomhead. One big step from Wembley and you'd pick your strongest team, there's no second chances and they need 80 minutes from their best combination.

he is a lump of a lad as well we need some size

When I saw him on TV playing for KR I thought he was podgy and not an athletic shape at all, generally felt that he had gone backward sharply whilst in Hull.

Perhaps that's the reason he has been brought back as the Robins saw him as a Prop and never a Loose Forward?

Be interesting to see if he makes the HKR squad for Wembley.

If he's been a regular for them I don't see why he hasn't got a chance but don't forget he is a young player and so I really don't think your comparison with Lockers is fair.
