That the average crowd up to but not including Leeds vs Widnes lastnight

Indeed.. in fact hadn't the Salford Circus Reds sent a grovelling apology letter to Paramatta promising not to attempt to sign Hock?

Pretty sure I read Koukash himself named as sending that letter.

Hock hasn't been everything we had hoped for, hope we don't have to pay for ban periods?!!
Mind you, Brown hasn't really shone either. Makes me wonder if it's the effect of players around them though - if they got better balls could they do more with it maybe?

One thing for sure is that if I was Paramatta I would be hoping to see more from Hock this season!

Paramattas last press press release said if Salford want hock they will have to buy out his contract with us. Now tell me why would they release a statement like that if there was anything in it.

I'm surprised certain Salford posters haven't commented on this yet

Admittedly I have missed this, the only thing I could find relating to this was two lines on the scum website by far from reputable Dave Parker. Nothing on the Eels website and seemingly not a lot else on Google in the past week.

Yep, pretty much what I'm getting at. There's no doubt he's an absolute wow of a player but the fact he lives on the edge means he does thing which will see him out of the side more often than he should

Well Salford have parted with the readies for Whitehead so you would never rule anything out. I'm sure its only small change to Dr Koukash and no doubt he feels he will have to back up some of his claims with actual signings. Buying a team is
not an easy thing to do these days with salary caps, but there are plenty of clubs who would welcome a cash injection by way of a decent transfer fee!

I would have thought though that Hock might fancy at least giving the NRL a go before its too late!

I noticed that in the Wire / Wigan game, a player (Westwood?) pushed the ref out of the way to make a tackle - the incident was commented on as being "in order."

Had it been Hock, he'd probably have been given a 10 match ban.

What gets me with the REDolution is that they won't be able to stay within the cap. Players won't go there unless its for ridiculous money.

Same could be said about the Wolves revolution some years ago and even now.

As my old Granny used to say - "two Wrongs don't make a Right"

What gets me with constant Wire comparisons (for a few clubs and even our own fans). Is they didn't go from top to bottom in one off season. It took YEARS and included numerous factors.

I also guess that's the jist of the post towards Salford. Gradual building with the odd big buy... Sounds familiar but they were also doing do on the back of half decry gates with bigger potential once they moved.

Yep, it didn't happen overnight for Warrington and their crowds were ok , when they moved into the HJ things really started to pick up. Problem with Salford is their crowds are pretty poor so it will cost Koukash mega money to make them anything like challengers. I know this season is a write off for them but the city should be buzzing and it must be a pretty exciting time for the Salford fans but where are they??
