Think that will be his position cp, give H's shirt number 11. I know that doesn't make any difference. I think this signing is for the possiblity of Lockers retiring. But, seeing how Lockers has overcome these niggling injuries in the last couple of games he may continue playing but not as much next season :(

So do I.

I was gutted when he left (as I am when any quality player leaves) and if he comes back and plays in the back row we will be back to one of if not the best back rows in the competition.

Welcome back Joel hahaha a bit speechless were you lad haha.
Is this coming from the same people who said that Charnley was leaving the club? Eddie was hoping to play tonight!

BTW where he going to play? I guess centre if goulding goes, but maybe Lockers is heading into retirement after this year and Bateman steps to loose with Joel in the 2nd row? Looked like Lockers took another knock today.
Lockers looked fit enough to me, I can't see him retiring just yet!
