I presume the last comment was a bit sarcastic?

Maybe it is a bit of an overreaction from other fans, but at least it has got fans talking about RL.

I like the Dr and I honestly think he is trying to help Salford and RL, although I think he has gone about it the wrong way and has acted a bit naively in a few things he has said. Needs to stop making excuses for the defeats also, this week it is injuries and the ref.

Yeah it was tongue in cheek.

Agree he does say some things (as do our fans) that make me cringe, but that’s just how is. He is the best thing that’s ever happened in the recent history of Salford RLFC so I can forgive some of out fans going a little over the top, we've sen nothing but crap for 30-40 years!

The reaction of other fans is priceless, the so called smaller club with their Jealousy and the larger clubs scared that we may upset the status quo at the top , RL fans like things the way they are, they like the same teams contesting finals and they like the same teams scrapping at the bottom. Every team in the league would like a Koukash no matter what they say.

I not convinced, personally I would rather have a Hetherington, someone who knows and loves the game, someone who thinks long term, which I am not sure DK has.

Salford IMO should have appointed a young coach who could coach them long term like Harris or Powell. Most of the signings have been short term, surely it would have been better keeping and playing Sneyd than signing Smith.

I saw a lot of people last year congratulating a different team, Huddersfield on finishing top so not sure that's entirely true.

and tonight they will get their just desserts.

As much as Leeds can be annoying they will put he Giants back in their place.

From a personal perspective I like Koukash.

I hope salford can become a top team in the same way warrington have over the last 6 years, but it will take time I hope koukash has the patience.

Get in Widnes, will be cheering on every team Salford play until that idiot does the inevitable, realises he's wasting his time / money and moves on to another toy.

So you don't want someone with money, ambition, and a desire to bring top players into super league, in super league?

Strange, bitter person.

Point of order. I support quite possibly the smallest club in SL. Our owner has invested £13,000,000 in 5 years....I am not jealous of another clubs owner wasting his cash in a similar fashion. Salford haven't bought 1 "star" player, but instead, picked up some damaged goods and past it names. As a result, all you have to show for it is 2 points against the smallest team in the league who are odds on for relegation and a scrappy win over the other relegation favourites...it's not jealousy you think you can hear, it's laughter. Widnes are at best 8th placed this year and they beat you.....God help you when you go to a top 4 club.....other than Wakefield, London and Bradford, I think you'll struggle to pick up more than one or two other wins this year.

Re: The mad doctor : Fri Mar 07, 2014 9:53 pm  

I have spent many an hour in the company of various SL (and lower league) chairmen and the Doctor is a breath of fresh air. His passion for the game knows no bounds and I for one hope he stays in RL

Bit harsh that gutterfax lad, just because your owner pissed that money away doesn't mean Koukash will, anyone with half a brain could have told Hughes he was wasting his money all them years back. Salford have at least a reasonable amount of potential if the good doctor is more realistic about both his short and long term goals which at the moment he isn't IMO.

A note for any other Super League clubs, if you want to get under his skin whack on the doctor who tune (if you win of course ) and make sure your hospitality is very poor for the away officials. He didn't like ours one bit even though he advertises going to Salford as going to 'Hell'.
