"Marwan Koukash ‏@drmarwanK 4m
The club have decided to cancel this year's player of the year award and focus our energy on the next 2 games and building for next year"

mmm - motivational or knee jerk?

Do we really need this hysterical reaction every time we suffer a bad defeat? I would imagine every team has had 40+ put on them at some stage throughout the season.

He seemed to have reigned it in a few weeks ago when things were looking up but it seems we are back to normal again now we've lost a couple.

Hmm, seems a little childish to me, by all means get them focused on the last two games but also treat them like adults, or they may well react like kids.

Good decision. Who would you pick? Not one player has been stand out for me and you’d be picking from a poor bunch of underperforming players. You could count on one hand and still have fingers left over when totalling up the number of good performances we’ve seen this season.

This and his outburst in today's MEN ... not as how I like my boss PUBLICLY reacting.

Oh: player of the year, JGR, means what it says on the tin.

Am I the only cynic who wonders if this is actually more down to poor advance sales for the event than outrage at a defeat?

What's happened to the much heralded improvement under Harris?

Exactly what he said, the investment made by the Doctor into this shower of sh*t, and the sum of their return is to finish in the mix of the three clubs that either went bust or were as good as bust. Whats to celebrate.

Well done Dr K.

I don’t know. A little step backwards, before taking another two forward? You cannot disagree that there hasn’t been an apparent improvement in performances under Harris, however Sunday has undone all that good work and apparent progress as it looked like we were back to where we started.

You have to feel for the coach after performances like that, after two weeks off you can guarantee they weren’t practising conceding penalties and making countless unforced errors. The players need to take full responsibility for not performing to the levels they are capable of and not following the game plan.

For the first time in years this season we have had the likes of Leeds etc resting players the game before they play Salford. All the big clubs have wanted to do a job on us to put us in our place after all the gobbing off in pre season about top 4 etc, whereas usually we could rely on the off chance of a couple of them playing a weakened side and getting a result. Anywhere between 7th and 12th was always on the cards, and sadly we are at the lower end of it.

Whilst the players ultimately have to carry the can, plenty of the off field nonsense this year has done them no favours.

I have no idea what we hope to gain from this latest stunt. Anyone?

Really disappointed in his decision and he wouldn't be advising this on his management training courses.
Tell Theo,or HH,that they're not worthy ?
Crass in the extreme but a good way to mask poor ticket sales,perhaps.

Hansen named captain for next year and we've signed 2 young forwards in Luke Menzies & Matt Groat. Marwan going bonkers on twitter today! Morley also named General manager/player for 2015

I am a big fan of our chairman but in this case he has I feel overstepped the mark.
Firstly nothing as yet on the club website,why?

Secondly as we have purchased tickets for the player of the year,two adults and one junior I expect the club to reimburse us as soon as possible without any hitches.


Thirdly the player of the year awards are as the title itself says for the performances over the season and not a couple of matches and several players deserve better than this.

I actually had cancelled a previous engagement to fit the Player of the year awards in and I thought that is was only Sky TV who were messing us about.

Finally this action,if true,has brought the club into line with the RFL & Superleague as we are continually told that the are hopeless organisers where does this knee jerk response put us?

Dr K apparently tweeted-

"I am sure the players by now have realised that they owe the fans ,who travelled to watch them play today, an apology,"

Apparently the fans / sponsors supporting the awards dinner are owed nothing by Koukash. An arrogant and cheap way to treat supporters.

how many times has this guy done a post game rant berating players and saying he will tolerate it no longer? (5 or 6 in 2 seasons?)
