Sorry but with what I've seen in the MEN he has lost all respect I had for his efforts while at the club. As has been said elsewhere hope is gets a ban for this and is never allowed to work in any RL related field again.

I'd urge everyone to not buy the book to prevent lining his pockets.

they could take all his medals off him

Oh......

Just to clear up a few mistakes here. Human growth hormone (HGH) is NOT an anabolic steroid. In fact, the anabolic effects of HGH are debatable. However, it is banned by the world anti-doping agency. Testing for HGH is somewhat more difficult than other performance enhancing drug tests as the only current available way is testing is by blood which is logictically difficult to conduct (and more expensive than urine testing). www.wada-ama.org/en/Resources/Q- ... rmone-hGH/ There's a link which accurately explains HGH.

Captain over two relegations.
Only won stuff as a Championship player.
Tackle hard but did little else.
Disruptive influence and a bully
Bitter twisted man who I hope the authorities come down hard on.
Fkin Legend... give me a break

Missed something out? Played for Salford,gave his all for Salford,stuck by Salford when relegated when others went.Yes he was`nt my cup of tea either,but he stuck with us and done his bit to get us back into S.L. NO the man is`nt a legen d,but give me another four or five players with his will to win and his love of the club and that will do for me.Yes i`ll buy that lads book no problem.

So slagging of the Club and bringing it into disripute is the above is it.

Maybe prestwich Red you can go to his book launch and say to him what you have just said, and I'm sure he will enlighten you as too why he should be so bitter.

I thought this was a Salford reds forum, not the Malcolm Alker forum?

Don't we support the Club? Players come and go, and no player is bigger than the Club?

Malc was good to us, especially when we needed him. But things move on, and sometimes they move on effortlessly and sometimes they don't.

I love the fact that some people who thinks the sun shines out of his hoop fail to appreciate him sticking the boot into the Club he 'Sweated blood for'. Now there's an oxymoron.

Believe what you want , hope the truth comes out soon.

I think you've got your knickers in a twist CS.

Calm down dear...

Great Statement and post CS.

It's a waste of time spelling the facts out to the clique, they're happy with the way JW handles this club and are happy wearing the laughing stock badge. Baffling.

I hope the chants of malcs name rings out from the stands at the Bradford game. That would be worth the admission fee alone to see the ijit's expressions.

I said oxymoron, not poxy moron



Can I be part of 'the Clique'? A bit like the Illuminati or Freemasons I'm assuming?

As for the Club...

...It's run badly, is out on its , has no money. Can't comment on JW as I have never witnessed him make business decisions. We have the worst kind of whining fans. It's a wonder we have a Club at all, so I'm just thankful for that.

As for Alker, I remain to be convinced he isn't just a money-grabber at the expense of the Club he played for. It's all very well slagging off the divvies who run things, but all he is doing is putting the boot into the fans, who at the end of the day, will come out of it worse.

None of this should be in the book tho....unless he WAS running the clubs finances as well as leading the team on the park how would he know?

Don't be jumping the gun Malc has stated nothing of the sort, look out for the chapter : Salford broke my heart , then come back and tell me he doesn't care for the supporters.

CavendishStreet,
If the piece about Tarry is in the book - and it cannot possibly be proved by any individual player - then Mr Alker will be done for libel and lose a sum of money.As may you for typing it out on here..

What seems to have been overlooked on various forums is the RFL 'State of Mind' issue.I now understand depression is used by a number of people as an excuse for certain behaviour but if there is genuine depression
it may be interesting to know if this was diagnosed before or after the drug use,in breach of the law of the land,or the HGH in breach of the anti-doping regulations,and what procedures are in place once the individual leaves the game - following on from the late Terry Newton.
Mr Alker doesn't seem to be winning many friends at a time when he may need them.
I trust he sought legal advice before it went to the publishers.

I don't know whether your comments are accuarate and certainly wish not to comment on their accuracy but my word, I really do hope for your sake that none of the above mentioned employees of the club see this post as my law-sudent girlfriend winced when she read this.

A bit of friendly advice, perhaps edit or remove this before you anger the mods...

Bit of friendly advice. Quoting potentially libellous comments angers mods too as it means more work when it comes to removing it.

Note to all - under libel law it is not just the person who writes a libellous comment that action can be taken against; action can also be taken against the publisher (rlfans.com in this case) and the web hosts. Hence why we cannot let potentially actionable comments stay here - by all means say what you want elsewhere, but not where it could land this site in the dock.

Sorry to anger and trouble you. Jeesh...

The fact is he has brought himself, the club and the game into disrepute.

I hope the entire RL community shun him as he is not deserving of anything other than distaine.

A bully, a drug taker and a cheat should be the title of the book.

Apologies to Iain and the Mods. Hopefully the club goes under major reconstruction soon from the top to the bottom. I'll bid you good day as it appears some on here aren't interested in the truth or reasonable debate. Empathy costs little!

We are all up for reasonable debate just not upset anyone with dodgy comments

Back to the book. I just hope its as good as it is being built up to be will be very disapointed if its full of stuff I already know will be great to know what being a salford player is all about

Cavendish,how much is the book?

£13.99 ?
