Not sure whether this is worthy of a thread of its own, however,

Who employes thr RFL? Who do Blake Solly and 'Big Nige' answer to?

If there appears to be a split between SL and peope believe GH at Leeds has to much influence, surely SL can vote who they want as the "leader" CEO or who ever. Also this just doesn't apply to SL, championship sides to, even down to grass routes. I'm not too clued but do RFL have much to do at grass routes or is it BARLA.

I couldn't agree more.
By no means are Salford innocent in all this and are guilty at times of stupid dirty play. e.g. Patterson v Leigh.
However some tackles we are penalised for are just mistimed tackles that other teams escape without even being cited by the RL in most cases.
Take Darrell Griffins tackle on Saturday, I can't argue that it was direct contact with the head. With Salford straight red, with anybody else a talking to or at worst a yellow. If that was a straight red offence then we'd see 10 a side games if the letter of the law is applied to ALL teams equally.
In the past "Big 4" teams always get the 50 / 50 calls when it comes to the judiciary. This year it appears to be everyone apart from Salford!
Would Hock or Hauraki have get a warning about the use of knees in a tackle rather than a ban? Think not but who does Mr Peacock play for?
We have nearly 50% of the total bans in the 12 teams in Superleague.

Are we that dirty as a team or are we being treated differently? I know what I think

Easy, tell koucash to keep his sour grape gob shut. Half your bans are from 2 players, take them out of the equation and the banned table looks a bit more even.

Last year the RFL were handing Koukash fine after fine for his outspoken views. Did the RFL realise this was having no effect and changed course to penalise the club through excessive/biased player disciplinary action at every possible opportunity? The question is are the RFL putting their own sensitivities to criticism before the integrity of the sport?

That's certainly the question - I think everyone knows what the answer is.

From his column in the MEN

"I am not going to change my style and will continue to do this.

I will never live my life to suit other people.

I have never done this and do not intend to changing the way I go about my business at this stage.

Whenever I have an opinion or a view, I am certainly not scared of expressing myself."

which is all well & good, but if doing that damages your team and your chance of competing on a level playing-field is it really sensible to be so outspoken?

Softly, Softly, Catchee Monkey!!
