we should've done it in the "million pound game"

play 14 players all match, take a tenK fine, relegate wakefield!

...somehow I think the punishment for us would've involved a points deduction.

Can't irritate Saddam, Abu, Alan though can we, or whatever his name is.

I think the fine is incredibly harsh considering Cas were not guaranteed to score in that time.

I never expected to receive the 2 points from this outcome, but I feel that the RFL have now set a president, based upon the rumoured league restructuring, I await the time when a team fighting against relegation does the same thing, and ends up staying up in the top flight. A £10K fine will be nothing in comparison to the money lost/gained!

The fine won't affect Dr Koukash one iota, but imagine (without bias against either of our two clubs) if our clubs were hit with a £10,000 fine, it would cripple us! It was I'd assume a mistake, mistakes do happen, I just think it's an incredible amount of money, that's if the RFL believe it was a mistake!

Giving points to Cas was not an option open to the RFL according to their own rules. They could have indirectly benefited by a points deduction to Salford effectively voiding the game.

Instead the RFL top up the bank account. If I was a cynic, I would be keeping my eyes open for new facilities being built at Bradford costing in the region of £10,000.

^ never thought of that, that's not a bad shout

I see good old fashioned 'tolerance' is still thriving in West Yorkshire

. Give me strength...

I don't think "tolerance" has anything to do with this. Dave is just calling a spade a spade IMO.

I don't know his first name - hence it was a little bit of sillyness that crept in. I apologise for how tight your bum is on that one.

I can tolerate him, until he opens his trap. That's the same with any ignorant rich man - regardless of their first name



Hope this clears up any confusion - I have my own opinions of "that" nature but know when and when not to air them.

My point still stands, the RFL are terrified the'll put him off

Did you do that on purpose, you little mischief!!

I don't think it would have taken you very long to find out what Dr Koukash's first name is, as he has been in the rugby press quite a lot recently. Still, a lot easier to just call him some random name, eh?

Interesting choices though considering his Palistinian origins. Who would have though of all the names in the world you'd have guessed it may be 'Saddam' or 'Abu'...?

Careful you don't get dizzy up there on your high horse. By creating a stink over an insensitive remark you're making it something worse than it should be.

Yes, you're right, I'm 'making it worse than it should be'. My fault entirely. On my 'high horse' again. 'Tight bum' about these sorts of things. I'll leave you all to carry on. As you were.

I actually threw an "alan" in there as well! you neglected that one!

At the time of typing I couldn't be bothered googling "Dr Koukash first name"

Appreciated it was in poor taste - I think you'll hear a lot worse than that in day to day life though to be fair.

If not then that cotton wool needs to come off.

Incidentally, have you ever watched "goodness gracioous me"?

There's an asian family on there trying to integrate into British culture. I forget the entire script, but the main guy's name is "dinesh kumar" but calls himself "dennis cooper". It's brilliantly done!

think it might lighten your attitude somewhat

(or loosen your bum, if I may allude to a previous metaphor)

...also, Abu was the name of the little critter monkey from Alladin - which if anything suggests Dr Koukash's mischievous and tinkersome side - linking nicely to the little newspaper articles he has been.

Were you suggesting I meant a certain Islamic extremist!?!?!?!?!?!

You racist man! How dare you!

OK, I'll save you the trouble. It's Marwan. Dr Marwan Koukash.

As in "Hello, is that Castleford Tigers? I'd like to buy your star player Rangi Chase. My name? Yes it's Dr Marwan Koukash..."

Why didn't you just write Koukash?

haha, I think my work here is done.

Anybody got any watches that need winding up as well?

By the way, I love the "we are a big club now" attitude.

Salford, the new Wigan.

I think his own team are doing that at the moment.

Point being pal it's not his team, its a aftermath of a disintegrated John wilkinson team. His team will be playing next year.

god almighty.

lets all remember these are the same fans that were crying and whining 3 months ago that they wouldn't have a club cause it was in disrepair.

I was one of those that went on the Salford page and wished them all the best

Now we've gotta put up with the fickle lot that think they're the best club of all time.

Salford red devils?

Why not Salford Storm?
Or even better - South Salford Rabbitohs?

Or are they a little bit too small for the likes of Abu the tinker to care about?



round two lol

Oh sorry i forgot we're inferior fans I forgot that we should sit down and be quiet and looks up to the rest of the big clubs? Oh and we've been known as the Red Devils since the 1930s so your little plss take doesn't make sense?

that's not what I said at all.

Don't forget that when you were crying into your Boddingtons that you weren't going to have a club, people such as myself wished you all the best.

Crowing now that you're gonna be the best club in the world and have a divine right to sign other club's best players is somewhat fickle.

I actually like the name change as well - hope you get a couple of fans in to watch them

Who exactly has been crowing? TBH it's good business for both clubs if you sold Chase as you'll probably get more than you would have in transer fee's than you would from Hull, and it's good for us as we'll gain a world class player to hopefully take the club forward.
