Good posts. I've criticised Salford/Koukash in the past because I think some of the things he's done are daft and hugely squandered the opportunity he had when he first took over Salford to generate some enthusiasm and media profile around the club.
The best move he's made by a mile is to bring Sheens on board, but I was disturbed to see at the end of the game v Cas to see Koukash in the changing rooms immediately after the game giving a speech to the players. That's not a chairman's job, that's for Sheens & Watson to do. He has to reign himself in even further but fortunately he seems to be improving on that front, with occasional lapses of control.

I say this as a Leeds fan but primarily an RL fan. I think Salford have the potential to be huge and so give RL as a whole a much needed profile boost, so I hope Koukash takes a business-like approach with Salford - employ top people, resource them, motivate them but, crucially, trust them and don't interfere where a Chairman/owner shouldn't and don't treat the club like an expensive plaything.

I understand what you're saying and agree with most of it. We're only guessing as to why he was talking to the players. He could have just been telling them to keep their chin-up. If we don't know the reason why, we perhaps shouldn't speculate. You may be right in saying that a Chairman's place isn't in the changing rooms fullstop, regardless of motivation and maybe you're right on that score.

Well said, I could not agree more! MK needs to stop fueling the fire & stop encouraging a very small section of supporters to believe in the conspiracy theory. I suppose I could have accepted the protest if it had show some intelligence instead of using the F word to make an uneducated assessment.

MK you have a duty to stop fueling the fire or again risk the reputation of our club further.

I think Marwan just likes to be in front of the camera and loves the exposure. I don't think he did any harm this time but it does make you wonder whose idea it was to mike up an owner when on every other occasion it has been players, (apologies in advance if I'm wrong and yes I know Kopjac was miked up) I've only watched it once but did any one else think that in the brief clip in the dressing room none of the players seemed to be taking a blind bit of notice?

Maybe because they'd just been knocked out of the CC and clinically taken to the cleaners by a depleted makeshift Cas side, with a prop and hooker as half backs.

As there is,apparently,no prejudice against the Salford club and Dr Koukash is very wrong to attempt to protect the club from this wrongly perceived,non-existent prejudice,could someone inform me how the 2 'tackles' by Catalan players in France,where no injury was caused and no 'proper' action taken against the offender,differs from the 2 tackles against Batley where Taylor is up before the beak at Red Hall?
