Wanes got the advantage of Wigan being years in front of Salford. Koolca$h wants to bridge the gap as quickly as possible. Wigan have no problems coming over to the Wakefield District and splash the cash to entice the local youngsters.

This is all about him getting Salford fast-tracked, nothing else.

He has the money, what he doesn't have is the patience to either wait for it happen of for the people "running" the game.

It's not about bringing marquee players to RL, its about bringing marquee signings to Salford.

He knows full well he could afford to assemble the NSW side if he wanted, he also knows that if he waved enough money around many SL chairmen would be happy to give up their "golden ticket" in order for him to do so.

The problem would be that on the back of it, he would then still have to let the greater population in for nowt in order to fill his ground and make it at least appear justified and not just some mahoosive ego trip.

IMO he is a mentile!!

Completely agree with his sentiments re the RFL. I wouldn’t like the clubs to run the league but the sooner Wood et al are out of the game the better. It needs a complete outsider with fresh ideas and impetus.

So how are Salford managing to stay under the salary cap then ??????

Brian Carney said on the Superleague show a couple of weeks ago that the money thrown at Kevin Locke to come over was "eye-watering"....(I believe £300,000 was mentioned ?????). Are they still able to pay a player £50 per week and his missus £10,000 per week to "work" in the club shop ????

How much money does he have anyway? He says he is pumping 2 million in a year, which is a worry.



I think the most sensible thing to do is to exempt players that come through your scholarship / academy from the salary cap. This wouldn't affect Salford too much but imagine the stars Leeds could bring over.



It would seem that the Dr's plan to get more people through the door is to sign high profile players. How about use his wealth to cover the city in Salford posters, flags, bus advertisements, free travel to the ground etc etc kids for a quid.

We offloaded Tim Smith to yourselves and Shannon McPherson was released. Kevin Locke was offered more money to join Scottish RU clubs, but chose Salford for less.

Cool story bro.

As was reported at the media briefing this week between both Locke and Koukash. The kid didn't want to switch codes.

According to this Australian article from October 2013, he's worth 900 million Aus Dollars. That's just shy of 500 million English green queens!

Crickey! Why doesn't he buy the super league?!

That's what he is trying to do

Be careful what you say about him if you want to keep Tim Smith, Cas fans got a little bit to personal with their comments and it ended up pricing them out of any chance they had of signing Marc Sneyd
