Going for Gold? Marwan Koukash wants to be part of National Rugby League
Salford owner Marwan Koukash has set up a team of advisors in Australia to push ahead with his bid to purchase an NRL club .

Koukash has also spoken to Kangaroos coach Tim Sheens - currently working as a consultant at the Red Devils - about the unnamed club, which is understood to be Gold Coast Titans.

Koukash told Super League TV: “I have a team currently in Australia pursuing that on my behalf.

“I have spoken to Tim about the NRL and it hasn’t changed my mind, I still want to get involved.


“I had hoped by now I would be involved, but things will happen when they are meant to happen.

“I love the sport, I love the competition over there - I’m sorry but it is a superior competition to what we have over here - and I want to be part of it.”

Koukash has also revealed that he considered walking away from Salford on the night he famously tweeted “I have had enough”, moments after a 52-6 home defeat to St Helens on February 12.

Koukash said: “Look, I’m a human after all and I have feelings and emotions. That day nothing was going right for me or for the club.

“A result like that in the evening when we got hammered when we shouldn’t have - I said I’d had enough and I really meant it. I was ready to walk away from the sport and the club.

I have had enough

“But I reflected over it over the weekend and I have a commitment to the boys that I brought to the club.

“Everyone I signed I promised we would be competing, and I wasn’t going to leave a sinking ship.”
