Just been informed by a friend that somebody tweeted the Doc saying he met some Australian players today with the Red Devils foundation and Marwan tweeted back saying he could of met one of our 2015 recruits? Wonder who he's looking at?

Two of those names have already been put forward earlier in the year, and I'm presuming he's still interested for 2015.

We might as well forget SBW for the foreseable. I'm not saying he wont do a stint in Super League at some point in his career (he's done just about everything else) but it would seem the guy has heart set on representing the All Blacks in their World Cup.

I trust Marwan is putting the ground work in with the Aussie test squad though, I know a few of their boys have been out into local schools with the Salford Foundation.

So he's now become a billionaire ?

According to an Oldham football fan on their forum Koukash was listed in the 2011 Forbes rich list as being worth £500million not quite a billionaire but close.

He wasn't mentioned at all in the Northwest Business Insider Magazine top 100 richest business people in the region - could be due to where his business interests are actually held though (i.e UAE). People like Whittaker (top) from Peel, Moran from Warrington, Bell from St Helens/AJ Bell, Kennedy from the unwelcome union lot were in there.

Ye like you say EuroMaTech is a United Arab Emirates based company so the magazine might not have him as based as a north west businessman.

Who are the two internationals you are looking? SBW &?

Not the most reliable source I know, but the current bun reported that Dixon wanted out of London to join us.

London playing hard ball over his fee I believe and you can't blame them. He's a future superstar.

Keiron Dixon originally signed a 2 year deal until Aug 2013.
he extended this until the end of 2014.
He's not 21 yet so it may it may end up going - transfer request - tribunal to agree a fee if London & his agent cannot settle.

He will be no more a superstar than Kevin Penny, and for exactly the same reason, he can't tackle, and can't defend a high ball.

I think Rogues Gallery has hit the nail firmly on the head. Would love the kid to prove him wrong, but remain to be convinced.

I've not seen enough of him to pass judgement tbh. His name is constantly banded about as one to watch for the future. Would like to know what a London fans review of him is. Although I wouldn't be so insensitive to go and ask, given their precarious predicament.
