| The more I think about this the more I think the Doc already knows this is going to happen.
Noticed when SKY earlier he was asked about an announcement this week and didn't begin to correct the interviewer.
Can't make my mind up who it would be, a big name from the NRL or maybe someone from RU. Wether that is someone like an Ashton, Tomkins or Eastmond or we are looking at someone with no RL background who Noble feels would make an impact.
George North would do nicely thank you.

on the Sky video he quotes the dispensation to allow him to bring in a player to surprise not just Salford but SL. therefore a ' Marquee ' player.
so either a bankable NRL player or most likely returning a league talent from RU .
Judging that he's not exactly on Barwicks xmas card list , unlikely , but in making public again he's raising the stakes , especially on the back of the Burgess to RU rumours ..

It may or may not be 'hot air' this season but I can acknowledge that Dr Koukash certainly has an eye for a 'hot topic' essentially taking an RU headline back and keeping his message on the agenda if nothing else.

| He's certainly pushing his line and more credit to him, but if he got a rule change now for a player lined up, then other clubs would cry foul.
If they had known the rule was going to change then they could have outbid Salford for the very same player.
Also if it's Joel Tomkins I'd be a little underwhelmed, not really a very special player, true it would be a raid on union, but hardly a critical player.
Probably has more chance of getting an exception approved but with a delay for later in the year or next year.

| If anyone listened to the RL Extra show on Radio Manc last night Ralph Rimmer all but confirmed that there will be some kind of cap exemption introduced - no timescales said though.

| If it's a non RL player, you should get him, year 1, off the cap.
If it's a current RL player...tough. Move someone on first.
Good luck, hope it's the former.

| His tweet was in reply to "is the player a union or league?" His reply was "league and I hope he stays in the game" now to me that someone going to Union from league? Maybe Sonny Bill or Big Sam??? Any other other special league player posed to cross to union???

| After 3 months of rah rah pre-season, perhaps Benji Marshall has realised he made a horrible mistake?

| Like I said earlier it's unlikely to be permitted at this stage for the outcry from Saints, Wigan, Leeds et al, who would be disadvantaged by the sudden late change.
But maybe there is no bid, but it's a good way to get in the press and say well if it had have been allowed I would have stopped Burgess going to Union etc...
Regardless of whether Burgess would have signed for Salford or not.

| I think other clubs would have been informed about a marquee player rule as well as Salford. The way RImmer was talking about it on bbc Manc I think this will get the go ahead, or maybe it already has??

Hether[iington said: "We proposed this a few years ago and didn't get the support of enough clubs. But it's been brought up again by Marwan, and there are people at other clubs like Simon Moran at Warrington and Ken Davy at Huddersfield who have the private income to spend more than they are currently allowed without jeopardising the stability of their clubs.[/i
[iWood talked of Super League's "world-class clubs", and said: "Our elite teams need to be cut loose to be internationally competitive." When asked whether that meant a relaxation of the salary cap, which has remained at around £1.7m per club for several seasons, he said: "That is entirely a matter for the clubs. But the centre [the RFL has been promoting the introduction of a marquee player allowance for a couple of years now[/i
