| Quote: Johnh1 "NO, NO, NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT. After this World Cup, Rugby League does not need to prove anything to our hostile cousins. The serious risk of injury in endless, mind numbing rucks, mauls and scrums is horrific. Play Leigh, Swinton and a super league club in the pre season friendlies. Let us get ready for the best season we have had in years.'"
Indeed, hope this "match" doesn't happen.

| This might be the first signs of a side to the Doc taking over the club that some may not like.
He like any business man wants a return on his investment and you'd think personally for him too maximise his and the clubs exposure. You can bet your bottom dollar the Doc will have an angle for doing this and also that it is unlikely this will be the last thing that some see as not needed but to him another step towards making the club generate enough money to be self sufficient.

Koukash has stated he has no expectation of making any return on his investment with Salford. Investing in a near bankrupt club with no record of ever making a profit is hardly conducive to making any money.
I agree that I can see Koukash as the sort of character who would make decisions some fans don't like and expect them to lump it. However, I don't see how he's got an angle for this cross code game. What possible angle is there? People seem to draw inferences from stuff he does as if it's all part of some sporting masterplan when in reality he just does stuff because he's impulsive.

I can honestly see him targeting some of the bigger corporate sponsors that Sale have, some people might not like RU but they have to agree that it is supported by companies that RL can only at the moment dream of attracting (I mean for Gods sake the entire elite competition last season didn't have a title sponsor). Can anyone not see that someone like the Doc would be the best sales person possible if the corporate big wigs attended a cross code game?
I would also not rule out the Doc looking at some form of joint marketing at some point with Sale when the seasons over lap and a Cross Code event isn't a bad place to start. Look at it from his point of view is he entices 500 Sale fans to watch a massively improved Salford team next summer then that's a step towards his idea of getting the ground full for games.
I suspect that there already some form of joint approach to sponsors taking place being that both Salford and Sale seem to have a tie in with RRG Toyota now.
And I really meant more that is wants to try and make the club self sufficient rather than getting a return on his money.
