Marwan Koukash hits out at Wigan

Dr Marwan Koukash is not known for holding back when trying to get his opinion across.
Since getting involved in rugby league all those years ago, Koukash has been a marmite figure – love him or hate him, you can’t but admire his honesty.
And, now he has attacked the quality of last night’s fixture between Leeds and Wigan, as well as firing shots at the Warriors as to their current abysmal run of form.
In pure Koukash style, the Palestine-born millionaire replied to former Huddersfield and England forward Eorl Crabtree’s tweet about Leeds continuing to improve, saying “the game was sh*t. Maybe both clubs are not the big ones anymore.”
Koukash was also keen to press for an answer from League Express editor Martyn Sadler regarding who the latter believes is playing worse than Wigan in Super League at present.

Although hes not wrong about the game and about our season, does realise we were still in a grand final last year

Also in his reign at Salford spending millions he guided them to a..... million pound game

I mean we’re awful but I’d probably say the league is an even bigger joke. How can a side this bad be 4th? It is a terrifying indictment on the quality of the league but also quite comforting that it won’t take much to turn it around.

think its a combination of some lucky wins early on in the season coupled with the fact weve played more than everyone else if the others caught up im pretty sure we will be a lot further down and in a more representative place

It's a popular misconception that Wigan "bought" success in the late 80's and 90's. Yes Wigan spent big, but so did Leeds and they won, er not much.

under the %age wins, we wont fall that far actually based on where the clubs lower than us are at the minute (but i am not factoring in that we are playing crap and may lose the next 3 or 4 games). Leeds and Cas, if they both win their games in hand will have the same %win ratio, Leeds have better points difference but Cas is currently worse. The only other sides capable of knocking us out of the top 6 are Hull / Hull KR, but that would mean that with their 4 & 5 games in hand, they would need to win more than they lost to make their %age win ratio better than Wigans. if Wigan continue to lose our current 57% will drop to 50% (lose the next 3), and that is where Hull / KR are both currently
i think i lot of us are realistic in that we dont believe that we deserve to make the top 6, but if the other sides dont win their games, there is nothing Wigan can do about that
