| Your big pal - bought a horse with his own hard earned money - he called it STEVE PRESCOTT after the bravest RL player of all time.
Dr K pays all training fees himself BUT all winnings/prizes are donated to the STEVE PRESCOTT FOUNDATION.
The horse won at Haydock on Saturday so a good chunk of money on its way to the Foundation.
I hope Cas fans now realise that this man is a breath of fresh air in the game.
Time for everyone to draw a line in the sand and move on & to cease the constant criticism from Cas fans via Twitter.

| Great gesture from him. The Cas fans abusing him don't represent the whole fan base, I hope people realise that. However, he should also try and stop airing his dirty administration laundry on Twitter, along with the cretins who have nothing better to do than yell at someone over the internet. He's not exactly an innocent party here.

| I have already stated, both on here and the Salford message board, that in fact Dr MK is actually very good for the game, and if he attracts more similar businessmen and investment, it will be a godsend for a game that is on the brink of financial breakdown, and in danger of becoming a feeder league for the NRL and god forbid the RFU.
Unfortunately many RL fans, including a lot of ours, have a ee ba gum, ee ecky thump, attitude towards the game and would be happy to see the lowest common denominator prevail. The RFL itself, is run by people not up to the show, and cannot even negotiate adequate TV and sponsorship deals.
I don't go on Twitter, but I have an idea about what has been said. However don't tar all our fans with the same brush. There are many of us, that have the awareness and foresight to realise that for the game to prosper, we need the likes of Dr MK and true professionals to become involved with the game.

I would agree, great touch from the Doctor.
Lets hope he, the trolls on Twitter, all of us started acting with a little more dignity as S.P showed in his later life.

I agree 100% with this Zimmerman. Its just a shame that these idiots on Twitter have nothing else better to do. It seems the only time you hear about such social media sites it is about some sort of abuse someone has received. What ever did we do before Twitter, Facebook etc ? It is just a platform for brain dead idiots and keyboard warriors to give themselves some personal fulfilment. I can bet at least 95% of these people if they came face to face with the doctor would run a mile if he said boo to them. People like that really tug at my short and curlys.

I agree with you on most points, I agree also its a fantastic gesture, but he does seem to bring it on to himself and I actually think he enjoys the attention.
I'm obviously not a keyboard warrior myself, but I have a cheeky look at some of the posts and he defo seems up for it

| I think he's been good for the game - in some parts - but don't agree with some of his points, nor some of his actions, particularly on Twitter.
I think that sometimes he can go too far, needs to be respectful of other clubs and stop trolling trying to get bites.
The blaming of Cas for tapping up Sneyd, allegedly, is one instance given the amount of comments he's put on about Brierley and co. over the past few months.

| Great gesture with the horse but other than that he brings all the abuse on himself. I also don't do twitter but some of his tweets get put on the forum and he comes over as trying to stir it up. Its all right saying we need people like him and i agree we need people with money to invest. However he bought into a club and immediately said he would break the salary cap. We then had his ridiculous golden ticket suggestion and his tweets that the performances weren't good enough and it wouldn't happen again. Surprise surprise its happened again and again and again and they are now 3rd from the bottom when gobby Marwan said he wanted a top 4 finish with a top 6 minimum. He'll never get any respect until he earns it and that doesn't mean throwing money about and trying to buy friends. Perhaps he could take some lessons in dignity from Jack Fulton.

He didn't. This is a meme that just won't die. He said that if other clubs are using methods to get around the salary cap, he will use the same methods so his club aren't unfairly disadvantaged. He didn't just blurt out that he's intending to break the salary cap.
Quote newgroundb4wakey="newgroundb4wakey"...We then had his ridiculous golden ticket suggestion...'"
What was ridiculous about it? It's intention is to help SL keep its top players (how many of the England team in the RLWC don't play in England?) and to enhance the competition.
Quote newgroundb4wakey="newgroundb4wakey"...and his tweets that the performances weren't good enough...'"
They weren't good enough. Why does him tweeting that bother you? Are you suggesting the players didn't know their performances weren't good enough?
Quote newgroundb4wakey="newgroundb4wakey"...gobby Marwan said he wanted a top 4 finish with a top 6 minimum...'"
So he's got ambition. Why is that a problem for you? [iAll[/i club chairmen should be saying they want a top 4 finish. Why do we, as a sport, think mediocrity is the best we can expect?

How is he trying to buy friends?

Didn't he buy the horse several months ago and was waiting for the right race to put the horse in or have I got it wrong ? Anyway - good on him and it's nice to see his heart is in the right place with what he has done in donating the money to the Steve Prescott foundation.

Because he showed his lack of knowledge of rugby league if he thought he could finish in the top 4 with that collection of mercenaries. And he deffo said he would break the salary cap, in other words he'll cheat if he has to. Did any one actually agree with the golden ticket? I think some of the more respected super league club owners/chairmen poured scorn on it. The salary cap was brought in to make super league a fair competition not for people like the doctor to try and buy success. he knew the rules when he bought the club then within months of coming into rugby league he's wanting to change the rules to suit himself.
