Pity they've never really used it to it's potential during SL, preferring to cheat the salary cap instead.
They could've maybe won the GF 6 times...

Why is that a problem?
The standard on the field has been dropping and attendances have been propped up with cheap tickets.
Most of the clubs in SL have been protected from relegation for large parts of the last 18yrs and they're still not producing quality youngsters.

The eighties and nineties hit you really hard didn't it?

Bless xx

Personally I hope the Salford experiment works, if they can somehow get them preforming as something like a team and hopefully playing some good Rugby then not only will they add some of that quality that we all crave, but rich people know a lot of other rich people and maybe they'll start to take notice and our great game can start to make some real progress. The youth side will come, in a salary cap sport it's practically unavoidable,but I think Koukash trying to buy immediate success is actually a good thing.

Wow, another Wiganner still living off trophies bought 20 odd years ago, who'd have thought it.


Unlike that all conquering Wigan team of the noughties that built it's team on youth eh.... Didn't have to buy/cheat it's way out of relegation that one did it

It must have hurt though, getting drubbed and watching us lift all those shiny pots.

I hear Tesco's car park looks lovely at this time of year.

If only we were all conquering in every decade instead of just some eh? How I envy other teams... Oh wait

Insecure. Much?

Go back a few years and the same people said the same things about Warrington and Huddersfield,now we have a Warrington and Huddersfield. that everyone bar three clubs at best would swap with everyday of every week. Soon Salford will join the big boys as a legitimately big club and you can smell the nervousness, bitterness and jealousy about them

Aren't people usually nervous, bitter and jealous of success? I'm not taking the p, currently Salford don't look like they are going to have anything to be jealous of any time soon. And to be fair to RL fans, when teams do rise up the ranks they are generally well received rather than scorned - Widnes, Catalans, Castleford, etc. In contrast, fans are critical of the 'Ka$h Club because they see someone trying to fast track success and failing. Nothing we've seen so far suggests his plans are coming to any sort of fruition.

Yeah, because Leeds never signed anybody in the 90s did they???
