Blow if he doesn't play. he's been in good form of late.

Very underrated player IMO, played a huge part in us getting to, and winning, the finals in '13 and '16.

Read the disciplinary outcome. Wakefield as you know had 2 yellow cards Nothing for Ashurst no cruncher and Grix yellow card sufficient for the leg lifting the other leg lifting was a bit of a joke. Greenwood's offence was in the 14th minute on Crowther rather ironic that he gets a ban but nothing seen last week except young Jordy left on the ground. It could have been a different outcome but hey ho that's how it is.

but it was a crusher and both were left lifts so its a joke how we cop a ban and wakey dont. A crusher nearly always results in a ban.....

He's a massive loss if he does retire. Not just him directly, but with Tomkins going we are will be down two ball players and organisers. Hardaker is a different player to Tomkins and SOL is a different player to everyone. It's a double whammy if they both go, which makes me think he will carry on for one more season.

I kind of agree it will be a double whammy but in fairness Lockers hasn’t really played a lot of minutes this season even if he has played in most games so I don’t think the blow will be as big as we would have expected

I agree Grimmy. I also feel we're a better side with Flower on the pitch.

Watch it again he leaves room for his head and neck to pass safely through and very little pressure on head and neck. He made meal of it and got our lad binned by cheating. The video ref should have probably looked at it a few more times and should have been play on. Your lad should have got a red as the description says forcefully applying pressure to joints to cause injury.

Met Flower after the 2016 Grand final, he broke his hand in the first 10 minutes but played on. What a bloke. Our best prop.
