Another thought? Why would the club agree to his recent operation if they weren't paying him or had no plans for him to play for the club again?

Don't clubs have to pay for players medical expenses? It just doesn't making any sense to me all this.

How did he afford to live. Is his gf on that much money playing netball?
Im not having a go at Locke as i think he's been mis-treated but not being paid for 10 months doesnt quite add up.

No,it certainly doesn't add up and I hope it's not true. As you say,difficult to believe someone would turn up to play if he's not paid for that long.
I just hope that the Doctor gives a frank presentation.
He called the Press Conference so he needs to be totally up front,as the days for rabble rousing are history.
I hope he realises that his credibility is on the line.

Totally agree. This press conference has to be concise and conducted in a professional manner. Points scoring and getting personal about players won't reflect well on the club.

Whilst I don't believe Locke hadn't been paid, I do question how the club has been getting round the salary cap. Could it be Locke expected to have a full three and a half year contract paid up after only two and a half with the final year paid up in full before being released a year early. This would make up his loss of earnings and ease pressure on the salary cap.

Now I'm not certain on the salary cap rules, but if a players contract is paid up in full and that player is released before the season begins, said players' salary doesn't count on the cap. I maybe wrong, but didn't Warrington release Hicks to sign Joel Monaghan, with Hicks paid up in full and his wage was no longer a factor on the salary cap?

Like I say, not certain on the rules, so please don't brutalise me if I'm wrong? However, I also have to question why the Warriors would sign Tomkins and release Locke. If Locke was going to make a full recovery from his injury they didn't need Tomkins, or was his behaviours causing problems for the Warriors too?

Locke's Twitter account seems to have been removed completely.

Mario - you need to upload the photo to an image sharing site and then put the link into a post.

Just thinking back wasn't there rumors before we signed Locke that he had asked the Warriors for help clearing debt (possibly gambling I think)?

Could well be that the Doc has helped him out when he signed on the understanding it wasn't a gift more a loan.

Reading between the lines it does appear the Doc has possibly loaned him a sum of money that was offset against his contract. Taking into account MK's comments about wanting Locke to stay in SL it seems to me (with the grudge he now has) that the Doc wants another competitor club to experience the same problems he's endured. It could be untrue but there is no smoke without fire. Something hasn't been right we have known this for months.

I think what sent the alarm bells ringing for me was when Locke said pre season he's never trained as well and then failed to make the team in our opening fixture at Warrington. (After all the games Locke missed the previous year)
