straight to it....
Leeds head coach Brian McDermott:

"My experience of coaching London means I know what it's like being on the end of bad scorelines and I know that Salford's players are not that bad. To concede 70 points you usually ask questions of the players but, on this occasion, Marwan Koukash needs to stand up and apologise to everybody.

"It embarrasses me to be involved in rugby league when there is an owner of a club conducting himself how he is - saying what he wants, when he wants and how he wants. He needs to realise that that is not how to lead a club.

"That group of players are not that bad and what we saw out there was a completely demoralised, shot group of players who lack confidence. It's not because they have had bad coaching or have bad conditions but they are demoralised by what goes on off of the field.

"I wouldn't want to be led by a person who is erratic and says the things he does about his own group of players - that (the scoreline) is absolutely his fault. There are some good people in that team who don't give up that easy so there are questions to be answered and lessons on leadership to be learned by the owner."

Finally someone gets stuck in Big Style..... I don't know what prompted it....Brian Mac must have heard stories first hand from players or ex coaches of Salford.... but he certainly let rip....
there is a rumour that Koukash griped Harris by the Throat in the changing rooms and told him to shut up he wasn't the the coach anymore. maybe that has sparked it off.

I would Imagine Koukash will respond on Twitter with a simple " off "

Koukash told him to shut up, without a hint of irony

Morriseyisawire will love that.

Glad we've got Moran ,never heard him say anything about the team ,keeps it behind close doors,it's called having Class

Well done Brian McDermott.........he's bang on for me; Marwan Koukash wants instant success for his investment and doesn't give jack if and who he offends along the way. He's not good for our sport (my opinion.....)

Koukash's response is typical.

He'll never learn.

I have to be honest, I think the world of McDermott. He is an excellent coach, doesn't hide behind soundbites, or Phil Clarke-isms straight from the nonsensical school of stats and is brutally honest about himself and his players whilst maintaining his dignity, integrity and his loyalty to his team and club.

In other words he is the polar opposite of Dr NoClass. I can only hope that he treats his racehorses better than he treats his employees, or he'll have the health and safety executive on his case. He may have saved Salford from financial ruin but in the process he has relegated Coronation St. to being Manchester's second best soap opera.

NoClass is fur coat no knickers meets Ming the Merciless meets Veruca Salt. He probably railroaded the marquee rule through by threatening to hold his breath until all the other clubs gave in or by screaming and screaming until he was sick.

He has probably shot himself in the foot with the marquee. I would guess few players are going to be falling over their heels to play at Salford now.
The rule may put further ground between to top clubs and Salford.

It would be sadly ironic if a club that has hung on like a creaking gate for donkey's years is sent into oblivion by its so called saviour. There must be plenty of talent in that team to string some wins together & isn't Tim Sheens on board now? The owner is now beginning to look like a caricature of the club mascot.

The biggest surprise for me came when Harrison Hanson was revealed to be going to Huddersfield.
This guy turned his back on the pies and gutted Wane.
That spoke volumes, only Moz wanting out can top that. Then the writing is seriously on the wall.

Hansen is terrible though. Still like watching the replay of Morley knocking him in to next week from a few years ago.

They owe Hansen money, that's why he wants out.

It seems I've been right all along about the Fake Sheikh....He's a self-proclaimed multi millionaire...Where's the evidence ? He owes money all over the place...He seems to be paying the bills with IOU's.A person doesn't get to be a multi millionaire by organising booze ups at the Holiday Inn. He's been the worse advert for RL I can remember. He just can't keep his mouth shut about what he thinks about his players and if the rumours are correct he had hold of Iestyn Harris by the throat. His ambitions to sign a marquee player have vanished for who would join a club run by the *Good Doctor" His response from a critique from a much respected RL man such as Brian McDermott was to Twitter *He should shut up*. This from a man who's never managed the knack of silence...The sooner he has gone from the sport the better.

Strange goings on indeed all the players can't be wrong as most seem to have the same issues money owed and or wanting away, whatever it is he needs to show some respect and common decency by engaging with his employees and think before he speaks, the way things are going the future doesn't bode to well.

It can't be easy being a Salford fan ,I genuinely fear for the club ,driving past the AJ today ,I couldn't but think 'what a stupid place to have a rugby stadium ' middle of nowhere!!!

Dr Kockrash got the rounds of the kitchen from Mac

At the end of the day Mac only said what probably every RL player,coach,administrator,owner,fan or journalist wanted to say to him

Dr Kockrash can do whatever he chooses in regards to how he runs "HIS" club as he has put his money where his big mouth is,but I'll bet that there's plenty more 5hit to come out of the club before all this furor dies down

Kockrash needs to take a step back and to employ a coaching team that he trusts enough to stay out of the coaching domain

He clearly didn't trust Nobby or Harris to run things their way so lets see how he leaves his golden boy Sheens to turn his club around,sadly i can't see this working either

Do you think Mac will get any disciplinary action off the RFL for his outburst Mr Chin or will it be classed as valid after match criticism ?

Knowing the way RL works I'm not sure?
Although IMO it is fully justified as Kockrash is a loose cannon who can't help but spout his gob off

I'm sill waiting for him to bring his Marquee player in that he was bragging about for god knows how long and that that he could bring anyone to Salford

I am still wondering if it will be Sonny Bill or Slamming Sam Burgess?

What do you think?

IMO if Mac get's castigated for telling the truth then i would just revert to the acceptable norm of saying that

"He's a lovely fella that Marwan,I can't understand why all these players wont play for him or why they go through coaches so quickly?
Give me a call pal and I'll hand my notice in at the Rhinos and join your global vision of worldwide rugby league superiority cos things are really on the up at Salford

TBH i see this marquee player idea as a waste of superleague & club money.....we will still be attracting mediocrity but at inflated prices. All your top Aussies are like 2nd hand cars with too many miles on the clock when they come to Blighty for their pensions. It isn't as if the Aussies are producing that many top quality stars compared to a few years ago ,so they are poaching our best for the NRL.
It would be interesting to see who the good doctor can attract to Salford though ,i mean he had the young NZ fullback Kevin Locke & binned or pi$$8d him off.

I'd give it 3 weeks before Tim Sheens is heading through duty free faster than Kevin Penny off a Luke Walsh pass.

He is the archetypal stubborn, arrogant, brash Aussie and the first time Dr NoKlass appears in the dressing room, training ground or Twitter to give Sheens the benefit of his vast experience of RL, Sheens will tell him where to stick it and who would blame him.

For all the mistakes Koucash has made none have damaged the game as much as the change to Academy rugby that Hetherington was behind. Perhaps Wane and Smith should had made their comments on the subject this week personal attacks on Hetherington if that's the way things are done in the Leeds club.

It was a terrible decision but Hetherington hardly imposed it on the rest of the league - unless the other clubs really are all in his pocket as some would assert.

this man needs to wise up total plonker

koukash

Funny as owt!
