I am honoured that you chose to repeat what I had said

Thanks for the motivational speech. Clown Yed ..Still a good player no he's not mate he,s a brilliant player

The funny thing is..Hock isn't an issue for Salford anymore..Unfortunately for Salford,they still have Koukash.Once he decides to get his nose out of a game he has no education about and get back to signing cheque's..The better Salford,will become.

I know nothing on training race horses,but I know how to put a bet on...

Koukash will be of to Australia soon once gets his franchise.

No chance of a franchise

Wouldn't a clause preventing a person plying his trade be illegal under EU rules regarding restriction of trade ?
Some good money here for a lawyer

But hopefully not the ones who may have missed the clause in the first place?

Not as long as Leigh pay him his contract terms with them I would think.

Wether preventing a player playing against his former club because of a clause in his leaving contract is legal strikes me as very odd. You don't sign contracts with former employers these days. Did anyone ever ?

Seems to me this is just hype and tells me Salford expect to lose on April 18.

Think most of their fans think so too.

I don't know enough about this story to make an educated statement on it, however I will say that come game day, it will pretty much depend on which Salford turn up, the good Salford or the woefully inept Salford.

Should the poor Salford pitch up at the LSV, then they are there for the taking apart... Hock or no Hock.

Koukash would then probably bail on the club, which would be bad news for them. Where on earth would they find that kind of financial backing again ?

That is exactly what it will be Alan. Marwan is sticking to his guns on this one, although it does seem a very 'childish' clause to put in.

"As part of his release agreement that he signed with us, it was agreed that he couldn't play any competitive games against us," Koukash said.

"Gareth was fully aware of that. The discussions were with Gareth and his agent and, from what I'm hearing, Leigh were made aware of the clause. It's in black and white and agreements are made to be respected."

You cant really get much clearer than that. For all Koukash knew, Hock could have signed for another Super League club and therefore the clause makes absolute sense from a Salford perspective. If we hadn't been drawn together in the Challenge Cup this clause wouldn't have ever been discussed or known of to the general public.
