Good to see Wakefield doing their bit to capitalise on the Locke signing, by refusing the media permission to speak to him.

Their Chairman has also taken to Twitter to call the main RL writer of the biggest regional paper a "tit". All in all, a proud week for the club.

Wow, rather a drama queen reaction?

Calling someone a tit, how utterly vile and hurtful.

I think that is poor from Wakey. With the stadium situation, they have a chance to show the town and conciland everyone what they could lose if they don't sort their stadium situation out.

They currently average around 3k fans, have no ground as of yet for next year. They then go and sign a world class FB and have a media blackout. Amateurish.

I'm sure the chairman will be wanting as much media coverage as possible when he is wanting to speak out over the stadium situation. Give and take.

Also calling a journalist a tit on Soial media is poor. Maybe the RFL should start doing courses for chairmen of how to use social media responsibly.

What did the RL journalist say/suggest/imply to warrant such a response? Genuine question. I've not been a fan of the way our chairman responds/communicates on social media up to now but seems to me that a few people are disgruntled that little old wakefield seem to be attempting to put up a fight to stay up.

Wakey just signed Walker from Saints...that's 4 new players this week ! When's it gonna end ? Is there a 'deadline day' for signing players for the middle 8's ?

Leigh fan by any chance?

Genuine question, (about transfer deadline day) my mate reckons clubs can sign players (to play this season) as long they are registered upto the friday before the final round of league games.

Just said he was Disappinted Wakey wouldn't allow them to speak to Locke. To be fair to MC I think he has apologised. I can understand why they've done it as I could see Locke just being asked about Salford situation, but they could have just said no questions regarding this.
Opportunity missed IMHO.

But Wakey certainly aren't going to die wondering regarding their survival push. Get a a couple of wins and they'll certainly be going into the middles with some momentum.

Section C1
If any signing takes place or is authorised by the Board

Ages away

He should've called him an ostrich

But of course it could also emanate from the (alleged) counter legal claims between Salford and Locke and that the lawyers have advised him not to speak to the media.

I believe they had a private conversation where Carter explained why KL would not be talking to the press, then Smith went public through social media to try to get Carter (see what I did then?) to change his mind.. Carter responded my suggesting that Smith should not act so immaturely... Or similar!
Since the two have made up and have been seen holding hands in public, Locke will not be speaking to the press!
