Could you fix it?

To be honest I don't mind Koukash. I have heard a number of interviews over the last 12 months and I believe he does enjoy the game of RL. Yes he is outspoken and does not know as much about RL as some owners / chairmen but he is putting his money where his mouth is. I think he mentions Warrington and Simon Moran a lot because he aspires to build a club like ours or even better. A strong well supported Salford could be the best thing to happen to RL in this country in years. The BBC are based in the city and I would love to play Salford at Wembley this year. The RFL should move their media / communications HQ to the Salford City stadium if koukash manages to take over it.



If I were a Salford fan I would be over the moon with Koukash.

The *good doctor* now wants a salary cap exemption to sign a *very special player*....What's his chances ?

I like the idea of a 'marquee' signing, who would be exempt from the salary cap, but as somebody has already pointed out, surely it would be unfair to bring it in with immediate effect??



If it was brought in then surely clubs have to be given adequate notice of its introduction, so that they could then properly plan their squads?



As it is, Koukash's request just reeks of another publicity stunt, and another chance for him to flaunt his wealth - Also, it once more displays his lack of patience in building a trophy winning side... He's like a big, spoilt child, wanting everything immediately.

If that player was sam burgess would you want salford or any other club to get that exemption or lose him to union ?

no salford shouldnt have an exemption to the cap, abslutely ridicoulous arguement. in that case lets line up a stupidly high bid for a signing off our own then whinge to we get our way.



the salary cap is there for a reason, deffo give it a go for next season as it fair on every other team. cant do it immediately just because they want one more player.

It would appear that he has now.

I'd prefer to lose him to Union than allow an egotist to run roughshod over the rest of the league, just because he has the wealth to do so.



If this signing and this rule change was for 2015, then, by all means, go and sign him up.... However, if you allow it now, then you are giving a side a totally unfair advantage over the rest of the competition - How many other players of Burgess's quality are available at this particular time for others to sign as their 'marquee' signing?

i didn`t just salford , i said or any club
