Quote: TOMCAT "I have generally thought that MK was a good thing for both Salford and the wider game. BUT he does way to much management through the media. He has done a great job of raising the profile of the Red Devils but not always in the most productive way.'"
I concur, when he first arrived I thought he would be good for the game and especially Salford. The problem is that you can't change things instantly, certainly not with the Neanderthals in the Rugby League.
I don't think that he's learned to work with rather than against them. He airs his thoughts that should be private, in public which alienates him from the wider RL community.
I think that if he changed his tack slightly he could still be instrumental in bringing the game forward. I think the old adage that "Rugby League is a professional sport run by amateurs and Rugby Union is an amateur sport run by professionals" is true. Unfortunately for our game Rugby Union is now becoming a lot more professional due to the influx of RL coaches.
If it doesn't change all our top players and coaches will be on the "Dark Side".
