I don't know the details of the incident but all he seems to have done is commit a serious road traffic offence. It happened in his own time far away from Wakefield. These things go on every day in the 'normal' world and never result in sacking or even discipline.
Unless his job depends on him having a clean driving licence I can't see how the club can dismiss him.

Paul Aiton smashed a car up outside Wakey Pride and got done for D Driving but the club did not sack him.

For what its worth I am hoping its just mind games and he will play.

I'm not sure where the idea comes from you can get D&D conviction and keep your job, if is was my place you'd be straight out on your ear.

Sportsmen don't live in the real world however, usually they'll get a bollocking or fined internally and they are back in the team.

No dismissals at my place of work for driving offences. Many people lose their job because of subsequent commuting problems if they're banned. I'd certainly struggle to do my 50 mile round trip on a push bike.

I've already posted the facts about drink/driving offences and the options open to the employer; if the club wanted to, I'm almost certain that they could dismiss and that it would be safe to do so.

Personally, whilst what he's done is incredibly stupid and irresponsible, I'm not sure that the moral stance is worth a million quid; if I could play him on Saturday, I would.

From a Rugby point of view it is total madness not to play Tim Smith, he is the only player we have with any creative spark. If for a change the rest of the playing staff decide to put in 100 % on Saturday all they have the ability to do is bash it up ( that`s if they manage to catch the ball ) and that will not be enough to break down the Bradford defense.
My opinion is for Gods sake play Tim Smith

Agree Tim should play but he won't because i believe both MC and BS think he should be punished as he has brought the club in to disrepute. However the moral stance although admirable could result in us losing our superleague status., We could not break through the Sheffield deence without him so fat chance of breaking down Bradford

Can't see why some of our fans think Tim Smith should play. He has been woeful all season and has had numerous chances to show his worth but didn't. What makes anyone think he will suddenly turn it on on Saturday. He would be better out of the club and preferably out of the country!

Go watch the recording of The last Bradford game and you will see why you are wrong
