Does this chap Marwan Koukash think he is above the game and can ride rough shod over rules that the rest of Super League have to abide by (Well, almost)? Nice to be in the top 8 again, but would prefer it not to be by default.

It's usually at our expense so better getting back for once

Makes it a little easier for Leeds to get top 8 and Salford will begin the middle 8's on zero points like everyone else.

Correct it's mean nothing if they were going to be in middle 8's anyway as everyone starts at 0

Makes the game against Widnes even more important to cement our place within the eight, go above Castleford (if they lose to Saints) and be drawing on points with Widnes themselves - joint 6th.

I wouldn't necessarily call it default.

Over the past couple of seasons they have turned themselves 5ft whipping boys to top prospects by breaking rules and their owner thinks he is above everybody.

We have made the same progress with sheer honesty and graft.

Expect an appeal and the penalty to be reduced to 4 points, which will become more interesting if the mighty Leeds remain in the bottom 4.
This could get really interesting, I just can't see Koucash taking his punishment without a fight.

Wouldn't mind betting the points will get reduced to 4 on appeal.

Re: Salford : Tue Apr 26, 2016 7:11 am  

His thoughts on social media are that he can't win against a panel that's selected by the RFL so perhaps he won't bother spending the time and money to appeal. If they finish bottom 4 I can see them sailing through, honestly can't see any changes in super league of all bottom 4 top tier teams play to their potential. Bradford don't have enough quality and Leigh do but they just aren't the same team this season.
