That is just astonishing.

Most clubs have a first team squad of about 25+ and an Academy of around 30 players and it is their choice if they deem those players not good enough to fill in.

He needs reminding it isn't NWC Division 6!

What a bizarre 'bullet-pointed' way to write a column?!

To put your name to that drivel is just garbage, it's obviously a phone interview where Marian states his thoughts but to have it called koukash exclusive column is bad enough and the actual content is balls too.

He has a column every week with Barker i tend not to read them to much, but i did find this one quite funny!

The cynical part of me is wondering if we can benefit from this? G. King and Philbin could both do with minutes at the top level. Penny, O'Brien and Wheeler have been there and know what it's about, but are not being picked for form reasons. Could we lend them these two for a few weeks. Get them battle hardened, some good experience.

Then even lower in my mind, i have the 'let them struggle' mindset.

What if Salford pipped us to fourth come the end of the season? That would be a total disaster and we will have been part of allowing them to do that.

He knows exactly what he's doing and saying. He is great for this sport. The whole Gareth Hock Challenge Cup saga was totally made up in my opinion. There were no clauses in any contact that said he couldn't play against Salford, Koukash just wanted to soup up a bit of media attention for the game and the sport. It wouldn't surprise me if this was the same. Imagine if Salford do actually win this game...more people will have had their attention drawn to the game through Salford's known knocked-back request in the media and the attention from the media with a win will be fairly big (as far as SL goes) and 25 more people are interested in this sport than would have been if none of this was ever in the media. Or is this just me being cynical?

If it is written by Neil Barker, why is it written in first person singular & first person plural.
