Is it definately Locke to whom he is referring?
I have the feeling it is general referral to past signings.

Really disappointed with how Koukash has handled Locke. He is obviously as frustrated and disappointed as everyone (including Kevin Locke) at how his time at Salford has panned out thus far. He has had a horrid run of injuries, which have meant he hasn't played a single game for Salford where he has been 100% fit.
I would personally like to see our owner come out and support his star signing. A fit Kevin Locke is the best player in Super League by a country mile.

Another high earner off the books, another salary off the ledger.
How many of those who fit this category have actually been replaced?

In all fairness, from a purely business point of view you look at how much Kevin Locke is costing or has cost you in wages, relocation costs, car etc for the return. Then you look at Niall Evalds, who must be lucky to be earning much more over £30k per season and you can understand Koukash' frustration.
There certainly is better value to be had in giving young British lads a chance, but you cant have a team full of them.

Koucash wanted Locke and to call him a big time Charlie is a disgrace

I don't think anyone can doubt Locke's willingness to commit to Salford - he's stepped up in a couple of games and played (and scored!) when obviously well crocked so I think Dr K's comments are somewhat unfair - after all nobody forced him to sign Kevin Locke on the terms that he did - if he now regrets the contract then who's fault is that?

I think the way which Koukash has treated Locke since his injuries is a disgrace. I am sure if the shoe was on the other foot and Locke has been fit every game, was absolutely killing it in Super League was going to the local papers trying to manufacture a move to RU or claiming Salford weren't a big enough club for him the supporters and Marwan would be up in arms.

Quite agree with your comments, I think it's all about money, I fear a fit Kevin Locke playing again't us |

Agreed. Instead of keep throwing the bloke in for game after game when he's clearly unfit, or trying to rush him back, we should have given the proper rest and treatment we needed as soon as possible. By now he'd have been long since fit and we'd have got the best out of him.
The way he's been handled off the pitch has been unfair as well. The Barcelona incident being the big one that sprung to my mind yesterday. |

Perhaps Marwan should have done a little research into his marquee investment. His time at the Warriors was blighted with injuries in fact 2014 he missed 7 rounds with a knee injury 3 rounds with an ankle injury. He has bags of ability but is injury prone sadly.

Although I agree with all the comments on the treatment of Mr Locke, how do we know why he has singled him out for replacement?
Was it in response to a direct question from Mr Barker?
If you read this link, you will not see any direct quotation from the owner but a lot from others:
www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/ ... or-9330572
This link
www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/ ... sh-9322561
states "‘‘I will even listen to offers for Kevin right now,’’ says Koukash" which suggests, from the word "even", that it is not the top priority.
Then we have his comment in today' paper:
www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/ ... ns-9323201
gives the impression that Locke is a big name Charlie.
He needs to clear this up. |
