As part of ‘ongoing negotiations’ between the two islands, Reds chairman Bill Dempsey has confirmed the prop forward may sit out in May after Guernsey expressed concerns about the safety of their amateur front-row.
With questions raised about the significance of the Siam being lost, Jersey last month announced they will only field professionals who have lived in the Island for at least three years.
Just 12 of the 36 professionals at St Peter are eligible under that ruling, but with specific mention being made to the Yorkshireman’s threat in the scrum, JRFC chairman Bill Dempsey says Lockwood may be sacrificed.
Jersey are on a run of seven straight victories against the Sarnians and hold a points difference of 156 to 18 over the last four years.
