Nice one, go for it.

I suppose he is only saying what others already do. And, if he is using mechanisms then that is ok, as a mechanism is only a process, or way of using the system. If he had said he was going to cheat, like others have done in the past, then you could have a point to make.

did you hear the segment on GMR?...the tone of his voice didnt sound good.....maybe it was his kuwaiti accent but it had a certain defiance about it. But for a guy who has been in the game a couple of months I think he has some brass neck.

It certainly wasnt a "ok the caps the cap we'll stick to that and create a club that players want to join regardless of the amount I can pay them"

Maybe he thinks offering the average NRL star unlimited access to days out on the gee gee's is a great idea.

I have no doubt we used Mechanisms to get Andrew Johns over. as did Bradford with Moz...and immediately those mechanisms were closed. He'll find the same happens again only a bit quicker if he continues with his whinging on the radio to anyone who will listen

Thanks for getting in touch regarding Dr. Marwan Koukash's segment on GMR. We note that you felt the tone of Dr. Koukash's interview was poor and may have been offensive to a long suffering Warrington fan. Here at RLFANS we personally thank you for raising concerns over our new owners approach to the media & the salary cap. We would like to assure you that Dr. Koukash is absolutely committed to finding a way around the cap, legal or not. Koukash explains that he's taken over an absolute balm pot club and in under 2 months without doing anything at all on the pitch he's already got fans of other cheating rascal clubs worried about what he may achieve. He does however acknowledge that his actions however are not what are expected of a chairman new to a sport that has a 'status quo'. Dr Koukash apologies unreservedly and will in future ask the presenters of GMR to pre-warn their listeners that he may say something a little controversial so all the suffering Wire fans like yourself can turn off the radio.

Thank you again for raising your concern here on RLFANS and rest assured Flying Biscuit that in all honesty, we couldn't give a flying f............

Of course Warrington never ever bend the rules.


Tony Smith said the salary cap should be raised only a few months ago and now little old Salford say it should be then that is wrong.
The big four have finally got a new challenger, live with it.

I'm a little uncomfortable with statements like this.

We've challenged nobody yet, let alone the top four Clubs. I feel that some fans are jumping the gun a little and all they do is set themselves (and the rest of us) up for an embarrassing downfall.

Save the boasting for when we are justified to do so.

I'd like to see the Doc tone it down as he runs the risk of taking us to the levels of people's dislike of Warrington.

I'm not sure that Warrington is particularly disliked ( apart from by Loyal Fan who once explained that his view of an entire town and rugby club was down to one bad experience with a former girlfriend's dad ). If they are disliked, it's probably because they HAVE finally made it into the 'big four'. However, this is only a recent achievement, going back less than five years, and no doubt some other club's fans don't like it. If Salford achieve the same thing, expect a similar backlash from fans of clubs who don't like to see their rivals make progress.

OK I will revert to the normal Salford fan type.
We are doomed and no money in the world can save us.
We are a basket case and even if we do ever challenge the top four we are destined for failure as little Salford just cant do this can they.
Is that better

We just need to find a happy medium, that's all Butcher meant I think.

No,let them argue,it's more fun!!

Stop being a little girl.

All I said was tone it down a bit, not become bipolar.

Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight.

Does anyone have a link to the BBC Manchester interview with the Doc on?

And as for the BBC think it's coverage of RL in general is pretty poor, Ray French is as bad as Eddie & Stevo on SKY. Mark Chapman is a pretty decent presenter but as on SKY new blood is desperately needed.

I've disliked Ray French for years. Stereotypical, thick, prone to making far too many gaffs, and mentions Union every chance he gets. With Eddie & Stevo, it's the Eddie and Stevo show, liberally sprinkled with bias, personal opinion, and nonsense. I respect Stevo as a fella, an ex player, and everything he did for RL with regards to the museum. But as a commentator he needs to just commentate on the game. The rest of the Sky monkeys are not much better tbh.

I really can't see why the biggest terrestrial and satellite broadcasters don't see what RL virtually universally agree on.

The game is trying to foster the image of a fast paced athletic product where its presenters are now getting past middle wheezing pundits.

Don't see why someone like SKY don't make a big thing of handing over the reigns with some form of fans input into who succeeds the current 'experts'.

Really? you bothered writing in to the Beeb to complain over 'a draw'.

I bet your family love you and your enthusiasm for life.

You wasted your life and felt angry over that, k'in hell now you've no reason to moan about the dire state of your club you resort to boring the pants off BBC R5 team.

Dear Horatio , there's a saying where l live "JE BENT EEN IDIOOT,GA DER WEG. Translate and take the advice.

Waar, zeer waar.

Spot on Chief. I'm still waiting for Craig Gower and Anthony Minichello to turn up.

I was pulled apart on my own board so a silly insult from someone in Belgium is hardly going to change my opinion.

This country is turning into whiny little scroats, offended by everything and constantly complaining about the most insignificant things, things that shouldn't matter. Bacon didn't know Boston and someone said a wrong number.
Meanwhile Syria and countless other countries kill its citizens, banks rob people dry, people stab each other on the streets and the real governments are businesses buying politicians to screw the working man over.
We're turning into a nation of scousers ffs moaning about everything and trying to get attention for it.

Poetic stuff for a Tuesday.

I'm outraged by your rant. So offended I might write to my useless MP.

Think you should just...

You didn't hear the draw being made but chose to not only post on a number of occasions on the Warrington board but now you come onto this board.Is that not a waste of your life ?
There were a number of complaints which resulted in an apology from the BBC.

No surprise you were 'pulled apart' on your own board with your condescending attitude - unlike Warrington followers !
Just as I couldn't prevent Iraqui children and babies being killed and certain politicians benefitting from the oil in that country,complaints about the BBC to the BBC sometimes yield results.In this case the same thing won't happen again.
Job done.So,perhaps not such a waste of time.
I did not inform the BBC of my displeasure.
Please visit again when Rebekah goes the journey.

The complaint to the BBC was correct. Until they realise that the cheap and glib way it was handled actually means something to people they will never move to improve it. Well do for complaining I say.

I’ve not taken much notice of this story and I missed the draw live but does anyone know whether it was the BBC’s decision to put the draw on Bacon’s show? And whether the RFL had a say in the matter? For starters, there was always a good chance the draw would be a bit of a farce because of Bacon’s style. Also, the first round draw of this year’s Snooker World Championships was live on the Hawksbee and Jacobs show on TalkSport. There was a bit of comedy during it, as you’d expect with them, but I thought it was still respectable. So this could be a trend — it’s not far fetched that the RFL nay have been advised by PR consultants to allow this.
