| We will never know if it was the usual way or not but it was why Para gave up on Smith it being the usual way at the time

| If Locke has gone home, whose to say that smith would not have done the same had he not an appointment with the magistrates at the end of the month??????

I am sorry but this is just living in fantasy land, we cannot afford to go down because once we do I doubt we will ever get back again. It is better to try to sort the future out whilst in SL when your income potential is at it's greatest.
There is no such thing as a good relegation regardless of the situation because supporters can say "we did the right thing" which will last until it sinks in that after 17 seasons we are no longer at the top table.

Locke, although I really like him, could easily be replaced by Jowett. I really like him.'"
Smith hasn't been anywhere near his best for over a year now, and even before that he was inconsistent. But unfortunately we have few options at scrum half with Godinet seemingly miles away from being fully fit.
Locke will be a big loss for the Bradford game, Its putting massive pressure on Jowett at such an early stage in his career. Although I do like him and hope he makes the number 1 shirt his own from next season.

Maybe I didn't word it very well. I'm not in any way suggesting that we can afford to go down. My feeling however is that the local lads have much more desire to play for the shirt than we've seen from a lot of the senior players. I think they'd put more effort in than some to whom Wakey is just another job, not THEIR club.

Look on the Northstanders Facebook page from this morning. I think it is one of their partner's Instagram posts (I never said it was specifically Locke's account but look for Chelsea Pitman). The post includes a picture of Locke sat on the floor and Pita in the background. There are text comments between them saying goodbye and use a reference of #ukfamily2015 Once you've found that then let us know if you think Locke is still here.

| I cannot understand the silence from the club if they have cancelled the contracts by mutual consent then say so if not then say so but just to say "I have no idea where he is ". We may not know but I am sure all the other clubs will so we are not gaining from keeping it a secret from the Wakefield supporters.

| I really couldn't give a monkeys where the two clowns are. Brian Smith will, like last week, pick his best team from the players available and I'll be there to cheer them on.
I know firing people is difficult enough even when clear lines have been crossed so I guess the club has more reason to get it absolutely right. Keeping Scarlet Pimpernel in the loop might be taking a back seat at present.

| I note that the charge is against Smith for careless driving and failing to provide a specimen which has the same outcome just a slightly different conviction code. I cannot see any charges being levied against Locke but as you say the club knows best as they have shown over the season.

Not seen the thing on Facebook but he's recently put a video on Instagram saying he's back home with his son, so yeah seems he's gone.

Don't blame him really
From the moment he set foot in the country it's been a disaster for him.

| Brian Smith on Radio Leeds said that neither Locke or Smith would play in MPG.
