  • Kevin Locke was an Auckland born player who played for the New Zealand Warriors for six seasons (2009-14). His preferred position was Fullback but could also slot onto the wing.
    Locke lit up the National Rugby League with his acceleration and his fancy footwork. He scored 26 tries across 88 games.
    He played an integral part in the Warriors 2011 run to the Grand Final in what was Locke's breakout season. Locke also received rep honours by representing the New Zealand Kiwis on 8 occasions including a World Cup Final in 2013 at Old Trafford.
    Sam Tomkins' arrival to the club in 2014 left Locke in the dark and eventually moved over to the Super League to sign with the Salford Red Devils mid 2014.

    Imagine if the warriors built around him and Johnson the way any other quality club would’ve. They could’ve been one of the best 1 & 7 combos of our generation.

    Looking back getting rid of Cleary was the Warriors worse decision and never allowed guys like Locke and Johnson to have any sort of coaching stability. The complete culture change that Bluey McLennan brought with him to a team who made the previous grand final to one that allowed complacency ruined everything for players like Locke who went from a kid focused on his League to one known for making an idiot of himself on weekends
