Oh look RL Fans resident legal expert NottinghamTiger popping up on a "Salford Salary Cap Breach" thread! Who'd have thought it?!

Also quite amusing at the outrage from Wigan fans... Pot....Kettle....Black!

If found guilty Salford should be punished and rightly so.... if this is all regarding Puletua it's even more farcical as I can't recall him playing at all last season and seemed to spend most of his time doing community related work within the club. As a Salford fan all I'd ask is for a fair hearing but after 2007 I fear not as we're not (and never will be) considered a big club. Far easier to lose little old Salford than potentially banish the world's biggest RL club to obscurity eh?

Btw, I'm not a Koukash lover.... I do agree with him on some things but he's also not covered himself in glory on numerous occasions. He's actually trying to move the game forward but doesn't always do things the right way.

Hardly. Just bemusement and possibly a smidge of schadenfreude. I think you'll find (if you take a minute to actually read the comments in this thread) that the primary opinion is that you're badly run & Marwan is largely only reaping what he's sowed.

Marwan is on record as effectively saying he'd defy the cap.

Just as Koucash seems to have learned how to build a team his past indiscretions seem to have caught up with him.

A mate of mine who did some work at Salford told me a year ago that they were in clear breach of the cap, so it seems to have been common knowledge. This raises the question of why the RFL have raised it now? My suspicion is that they were keen for Salford to get away with it.

I don't want to see the current players punished by a points deduction which kind of ruins the competition, but I suppose Salford, or more accurately, Koucash, need to be punished.

Is their new 'no frills' squad a case of him learning to build a team or because he knew what was coming and avoided the 'name' signings on big money like Chase and Hock. Was it also because bigger named players were realising not to touch Salford and Koukash with a barge pole after all the soap opera going ons and stories coming out of there regarding player fallouts and payments?

I think I was attempting to give him the benefit of any doubt but you are quite possibly right. I do think however, that the decision to get Tim Sheens on board was a master stroke.

They were unlucky against us and they performed well against Saints and Warrington so something seems to be working well. The very fact that Sheens agreed to go to Salford suggests that your point about not touching them with a 'barge pole' may be overstating things.

I think we all saw 'car crash' when they signed Chase and Hock. Tim Smith and Kevin Locke didn't work out either, despite obvious talent. They did manage to get Michael Dobson though who I rate highly and his partnership with Lui seems to be one of the better in Super League.

I'm old enough to remember fondly the days of Dai Watkins, Keith Fielding et al and I sincerely hope Salford don't implode.

There was a car crash with those two, as well.

Docked 6 points.

All a plan to get the Whinos into top 8

Truth in jest?

It's not done their chances any harm.

It's not but they need a serious turnaround in form to capitalise on it.

No one can seriously believe this is for their benefit though, can they?
