We stood by Walker and Bailey in a similar situation (not saying whether we were right or wrong to, but we did). Has anything changed since then?

There's a lot of conjecture going on around here, we're firstly assuming that it is those two (and having seen the photo I'm pretty convinced by at least one of them), secondly we're assuming that no-one in the West Yorkshire police force has recognised and then contacted one of the most high profile people in Leeds to discuss the issue, then we assume that if it is indeed them then they've actually done something - being wanted in connection is not the same as being accused - and then it seems that everyone is assuming that if they did do that thing it was both of them and it was unprovoked.

I'm not saying that none of the above is possible, but I think to take it as read that this is what went down seems a little premature.

IF it is whom some are suggesting then it'll be their 3rd or 4th indiscretion in 18 months though...

That apparently part of the deal was that the club promised to make him captain after Sinfield retired should ring alarm bells as to the genuine nature of that rumour.

And was why the club encouraged him to move in with others, in order to start making that transition, which is why I said above I am not convinced the club have got it right.

Oh don't worry, I took that huge pile of ..... .with a huge pinch of salt.

Where do you get this stuff from?

Do you believe yourself?

Stop been an idiot Gareth.

Stop making stuff up.

You just say stuff as if it's gospel and expect us to believe you when your credibility is, frankly, not that high.

Now you're corresponding with Hetherington (you sure it was him?) about who should be whose room mate. We used to have a poster called Walter Mitty on here. You sure you're not the real Walter?

Looking at Hardaker's Twitter feed he's not been that prolific as usual on it in recent days.

Interesting.

Maybe he's fallen out with social media in light of the recent news about GCHQ monitoring everyone's emails and social media posts?

More likely they were hopeful some teammates could keep an eye on him. I can't see why moving him in with teammates would be viewed as prepping him for captaincy.

GH wouldn't make that promise. We'll probably have a new coach by the time Sinfield retires and what if he comes in and says he wants Ward or Ablett or whomever as his captain? Is Hetherington seriously going to turn around and say "sorry it's got to be Zak, I promised it to him over 2 years and made him live with teammates to prep him"
