Koukash hasn't agreed to it though has he? He wants more and if the RFL decline they are unlawfully stopping a company paying its employees more money which is as ive already said unlawful and possibly could see them in court and lose.

Be an idiot if he tried that. Anyhoo, there is the question of a points deduction which you have failed to come to terms with.

Salford agreed to abide by the rules when they got a franchise, this guy bought them while in SL and under SL rules, if then decides that he doesn't want to abide by them and he wants to pay what he wants, thats fine he can go and form a league all on his own and play Salford reserve team every week.

He can withdraw from the competition and pay them what he likes - Salford are members of the RFL, not captives. Any threat of a legal challenge would be met with a threat of suspension from the competition, while it is resolved.

A challenge from a player, accusing the clubs of acting as a cartel... well it'd make the lawyers happy, I guess.

There'd be a certain irony in that.

For years most teams have had no one to play when visiting Salford as they were that rubbish, now they would have no one to play if Koukash followed this plan.

For the record, I'm ll in favour of another less fashionable club suddenly having a load of money to throw about and shake the game up a bit, I'll really enjoy it when Salford bloody a few noses.

I hope the rumours surrounding Cory (and his family) aren't true but, perhaps, the recent heightened anti-Muslim tensions (the fall-out of Woolwich) has added to not being able to settle (the final straw)?

I'm not saying this is the case but it might be a contributory factor, because I work with a number of Muslim's who have been subjected to verbal abuse and threats in the aftermath.

All over the democratised world there are radical Islamists who are giving the majority a bad name and as such this brings out the right wing nut jobs as well. I doubt he would get more exposure to it in Hull than he would in Sydney, so I have my reservations as to this being a problem.

Perhaps we should wait until the seasons end for the player to speak (or not, seeing as he is on a two year contract), or until 9th August when the saviour of Salford announces his 'secret' list of signings.

Then if he leaves he's in breach of contract.

I didn't just make it up you know

Evasion and avoidance though are two very different animals in a court of Law.

We'll see how much Dobbo's missus gets paid

Is Paterson a muslim?

Yes.

Oh right I did not know that. I cannot imagine that Australia is much different to UK in the situation that Paul thought might be the reason he wants back to NRL

I would agree but it is something else to think about.
