If it keeps him,and us, in the news than that's fine by me.
Daft idea though.
The Aussies don't need it,so it won't happen.
The World Club Championship is a half way house to this idea and that'll be as far as it goes

Bonkers


No harm in thinking big but can't see the Aussie clubs signing up to come over a week at a time
Now an extended nines comp on tour for a few months could be a different matter......

Net worth of 3 billion, bloody ell

It may well be a "daft" idea but the good Doctor does get people talking. Perhaps,if it went ahead, we could all play to the same rules!
If it went ahead, we could call the team UK Lions and a squad be selected from the previous year's Super League. It would have to be shown on BT Sport so that SKY keeps Super League.
There have been dafter ideas!

If you check out RL reports from pre Xmas a Canadian bid is seriously being considered by the RL for inclusion in the Championship so it's not a new innovation.
In fairness a SL side would stand a better chance of success in the NRL as the players are all full time anyway whereas in the Championship players jobs need to be taken into consideration.

This isn't a stupid idea. It's a bloody good one. Maybe his best so far. There will be plenty of people against it especially in Aus. This could really work.

Gonna buy Oldham A
Gonna buy Swinton
Gonna build a ground for Swinton
Gonna buy Salford stadium
Gonna develop the ground around the AJ Bell
Gonna put a team in the NRL

Is this just manipulating the media for publicity

The word you are looking for is deluded!

You missed out Bradford



Who is going to subsidise the NRL for the expense of shipping a team over to the UK every fortnight ? They say that there is very little difference between genius and madness - perhaps he has just crossed the border.

Well the Dr has big news according our social media page at Thursday Media launch. Could it be Salford joining it

I seriously doubt it.

It would take a lot longer and have much more media coverage in Aus if this was the case. It does say big news, so it's going to be positive whatever it is. It's just not going to be the Red Devils in the NRL.

Maybe he's finally going to reveal when he got his first pair of shoes. The press never seem to mention it.

Marwan will be announcing that he is unblocking all Salford fans whom he previously blocked on Twitter, but there will be conditions:
1. PaulCam1972 (just an example) is not allowed to disagree with Marwan
2. Any fans showing negativity towards Marwan are to be flogged at the next home game
3. Repeated floggings will result in your season ticket price going up

I'll spoil the surprise, it's a shirt and mug offer!!

Is that a T shirt for every mug on here?

No seriously the BIG news is that Marwan is interested in making offers to the Glazers and Sheikh Mansour for both United and City. This is only on the condition that FIFA drop the financial fair play regulations.

Why do you think it's so good he gets Salford in the media? What does that actually do ?

I just think the guy lives on another planet and has become a comedy act. I'm just glad he's nothing to do with saints.

He's going to give Harrison Hansen the money he was promised for giving up his testimonial at Wigan?

Bought H a very nice house in Worsley I believe in.

“All right!, but apart from the saving us from Bankruptcy, complete overhaul of the backroom staff ( twice), Spending millions on the Team ,New Gym Facilities, Adrian Morley, raising Salford's Profile in both Salford & Sydney, Kevin Locke, Getting us a million pound kit sponsor deal with Under Armour ,donating all his prize money from a racehorse called Steve Prescott , not being afraid to criticize the governing body & other fat-cat chairmen , the Salary Cap , marquee player ruling ........... what have the Marwans's ever done for us?”

Life of Marwan (2015)



you're correct , I'm just glad he's nothing to do with saints.

Point me to another superleague chairman or member of the governing body who has provided the sport with as many column inches in the relevant or national press in the last two years?....essentially the length of time he has been involved in the game.

Even as Salford fans we don't agree with everything he says or suggests but you cannot deny that he attracts media attention....something which has been in short supply's or a good number of years.

That's not what I said. Read my post!

I asked what it's so important to get in the media ?

Weak journalism - do they check ANY facts before they print this garbage?
