Me neither BR I was simply making the point that with Cramer now involved there could possibly be similarities between the past and present.

Lets face it, on the face of it Locke's departure wont affect us on the field. Apart from his first game away at Huddersfield, he has done nothing in a Salford shirt of any note because he has unfortunately been injured for the majority of his time here. I admire his courage though, it must have been tough for him at times but he never seemed to let each injury affect him to much and just continued with his rehab every time.

It is a huge shame it never worked out though, he had the potential to be the best signing any Super League club had ever made (big and bold statement I know, but true) and it is a massive shame for him, the club and the supporters this never happened.

I'm gravely concerned about the reports of him being owed money, he is now the third ex player along with Tony Puletua and Brad England to make such claims. When you consider the facts and bear in mind the CCJ's which have been served you would be a fool not to be worried, regardless of Koukash' wealth. Since he has taken over, we're in no better financial state as a business/club than we were under Wilkinson, if anything we're worse off being our liabilities are even greater. Fortunatly, for the time being we have a rich owner who seems content on progressing the club and isn't considering quitting any time soon.

I await Koukash' press conference with baited breath, as at the moment our club is being dragged through the dirt for all the wrong reasons. I'm worried how this may affect our future signings, even if there is nothing in it why risk joining a team where such rumours persist? You just wouldn't.

Omnishambles.

There's nothing more that needs to be said about the matter really.

This could explain why we haven't seen much from him . rl

Be VERY careful what you post on here. I've been told that Dr Koukash may be announcing plans to sue people for defamation on Tuesday. This could include those that have posted on social media and chat forums such as this.

Just A quick heads up.

Good post there Neil. I have been told the very same. The interlopers from Warrington - `Bruce Forsyth` & `Brian Bradys side step` should be very worried for a start.

All I would say on the subject re Locke is that there are 2 sides to every story.

Thanks Mr Marsland. I hope you've seen the latest article? Good mention for you!

Castleford village could potentially be in financial meltdown.

Thank for the mention Neil - you well know that I am a Harris fan. Any man with the ability he has will surely lead us out of this mini crisis much stronger. Please Follow me on Twitter as I have some news on a very young player already courted by Saints, Wires & the Pies & hope you will pass on his details to Mr Gleeson.

Castleford is a small TOWN in Wakefield.keep it up and we sue .

My thoughts exactly, I feel like we are lurching from from one bad thing to another. Sorry about and for Kevin Locke, he looked class.

It's a strange one this. From what I can read, Locke has tended his resignation... That doesn't mean it will be accepted. I thought if you had a contract, you couldn't just hand in your notice and go and play elsewhere. Or have I got it all wrong?

Looking at it from a purley rugby point of view, I'm not that fussed about Locke leaving.

I think it was always on the cards. It was just a matter of when.

We already have a ready made replacement in Evalds who's younger, cheaper, Englisher and far less injury prone.

All being well, Evalds will have No.1 shirt at Salford for the foreseeable future.

Could this be an unprecedented situation? I can t ever recall a player resigning before.

Salford have to accept the resignation, and doing so (even verbally) will legally nullify the remaining responsibilities of both parties - what I imagine is currently going on is a negotiation between Salford and Lockes representatives, to have a conditional acceptance found (aka we'll accept the resignation if you drop the lawsuit).

Once the acceptance is agreed, Locke will then be free to take up any deal another club may offer him, assuming they don't violate the terms of the acceptance.

At least that is my current understanding on the matter, it is certainly not an everyday issue...
