Quote: bewareshadows "The way the league is set up he can't do anything without other chairmen helping him. He does a lot of talk but most of it is just that. People get wound up by him saying he will sign x, y and z but really all he is doing is making sure in the morning Salford are mentioned in the press.
ie putting in a £25k bid for Bradford.
A completely none Salford related story, but for the effort of showing he had £25k going spare he gets Salford up in the papers. No real intention to buy, but it keeps Salfords profile high.
He's a PR mans dream. He's increased Salfords crowds over 100% since taking charge. That's his goal the rest is chaff for free publicity.'"
But he's serious that he wants the salary cap scrapped and serious he wants the marquee signing rule brought in.
He's spouted how he wanted tomkins and brought in mullany (spelling), he then spouted he wanted billy slater and brought in mullany (sp), he spouted he wanted SBW and brought in Hock, he spouted he wanted Sam burgess and got TP.
Not exactly the stars he promised and not exactly doing well for the cash they spent.
