I'm sure MK would listen to offers on any player - that is purely business.

Re KL - Hes just had an op so after recovery - 4 weeks I understand - I think we will all see how good he is.

He has 2 years to run so we have much to look forward to.

How does this work with the Doc still looking for the Marquee player rule to be brought in, you'd think that anyone he does bring in would be the very type of player he is referring to in this report.

Nothing but a hunch but I think one of the reasons Locke looks set to be shipped on is that Slater will be heading over to SL at the end of the current NRL season and that Salford will be heading the queue to sign him.

I will be sorry to see Locke go. Hoping that after coming back from his op he shows everyone his talents, if he comes good will he be to good to let go ? I thought that he would be the top fullback in super league this year

I have heard that MK Wants to offload him, to free up Salary monies, to increase Evalds and Fages contracts and stop them being poached by other clubs, who run better academies than us

Surely Fages and Evalds have come through our junior system so a good part of their salary can be offset? Don't fully understand the rules on that but sure there is some form of dispensation for youth products.

We won't be signing Billy Slater or any other marquee player; Koukash has pretty much said as much.

I don't like the way Koukash goes about his business but when you can barely give tickets away to watch us play, you can hardly blame him for stashing his credit card.

Agree to an extent WF but his Trainers bill for horses will be about £200k a month so his losses with us will be far less.

Locke holds the Ace

The only big time Charlie at the club is koucash

Is it definately Locke to whom he is referring?

I have the feeling it is general referral to past signings.

It's a shame Locke hasn't worked out at the Red Devils. I wonder if NZ Warriors might take him back? www.nothingbutleague.com/salford ... for-locke/

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
