I have discussed this incident with the most impeccable of sources. From what I was told, he gave out the loan knowing full well it would be paid. It was underwritten by the RFL and monthly instalments were deducted from the subsequent SL payments in order to repay him. The figures I were told also suggest he also got substantial interest on the loan and came out financially on top.

I am only reiterating what I have been told by people in good faith. However it suggests that this gesture by Walker benefited him the most.

A strange scenario if true. Why didn't the RFL loan WT the money at more favourable terms rather than allowing money to haemorrhage from the game by allowing walker to act as intermediary?

Do you know some people are never what they seem. They are able to build a false image of themselves which is quick to impress and can last years before people start to realise otherwise. Typical example is the football scam of Kaisor, well worth a read.

For instance you can give yourself a certain type name or job description which at first glance sounds grand and can open doors by people who are easily impressed and don't look to deep, Once this happens you can continue to add other bits to reinforce this perception and eventually build up an highly impressive profile.

I spoke to Kevin Trickett at a WCS exhibition on one of the Wakefield Artwalk evenings, seems a decent bloke. He showed nothing but disdain for Peter Box and Wakefield Council, referred to them as 'this bloody lot'.
