I realise things may be going on behind the scenes, but since he appeared on Boots n All back in February talking about his little black book with his numerous contacts has he actually produced anything.

From memory he was going to get more National media coverage and sponsorship for the game.

As I said its early days, but is this just another white elephant appoinment by the RFL.

Maybe the RFL should have appointed Mr Koukash as Salford must have had more publicity in the last 2 months than in the previous 2 years.

He is a part time, non executive Director. You can't expect things to happen over night. He is a well established and successful administrator, I am sure he will be getting to know the sport better and getting on with things behind the scenes.

When I pulled up in the car at Esher last week for the Broncos/Cats game he was parked next to me. Had a chat with him.



At least he is getting to games if nothing else!!



There has been more RL than usual in the London free papers

whats he been in the job? 6 weeks? And he is getting whacked? sheesh.

"Welcome to Rugby League, Mr. Barwick!"

Sounds par for the course to me.

Get on with it Barwick.

I live down south and Rugby League is never reported on TV. However this last month I've started to see sports reports with some RL coverage, even on the lefty BBC national news. Maybe his black book is getting some use.

I'm surprised, that you are surprised.

Thats 5 weeks too many for some!

How do you pronounce it, Barwick or Barrick?

Barwick
