SALFORD owner Marwan Koukash has launched a stinging attack on the Rugby Football League, claiming the Red Devils have been unfairly treated throughout his three years in charge of the club.

His club were charged last Friday, six weeks after Bulls chairman Marc Green raised questions over their use of the salary cap over the last two years and in particular their signing of Tony Puletua from St Helens in 2014.

Koukash says Green's intervention put pressure on the RFL which he argues has failed to provide evidence of any wrong-doing.

"We're going to fight this and win it together - I don't want anyone to doubt that," said the millionaire racehorse owner.

"I have nothing to worry about. If necessary I will go to the highest court in the land, I have the means to do so in order to protect the interests of my club, its fans and our players."

Koukash, who rescued Salford from potential financial ruin in 2013, believes the governing body has an agenda against him, pointing to their heavy fine and points deduction for briefly having an extra player on the pitch in a match against Castleford in 2013, contrasting it with a nominal fine handed to St Helens for a similar offence in 2006.

"I know for sure they're trying to make an example of us," he said. "I feel we're being treated unfairly and have been for the last three years ...probably because I have the guts to say something to the RFL.

"I'm not a follower and I will speak my mind. If it gets me into trouble, so what? If they start deducting points from us, I'll press the red button and go for all-out war."

Koukash insisted his actions in gifting 2015 player of the year Niall Evalds with a Maserati car were carried out within the regulations and said the club are operating well below the salary cap this year.

"If we've made a mistake we will pay for it but all I'm asking from the RFL going forward is to have a fair process in dealing with this, to stop trying to make an example out of us," he added.

"I want this to be dealt with quickly and fairly and I'm also asking the tribunal to allow members of the public in and possibly journalists too."

Koukash, who has long been an advocate for scrapping the salary cap, claims it is unenforceable.

"If the RFL believe they can police the salary cap they're kidding themselves," he said. "It's fully reliant on owners and clubs to cooperate and stick to it but one of the main reasons for the salary cap is to ensure there's a level playing field.

"Can anyone tell me why we still have the same top four? Are they more creative or can they manage their cap better than the rest of us? That's a question for the RFL to answer, not me.

"They don't have the resources to police it."

Koukash has been asked to select a date for the RFL independent tribunal hearing.

But he said he would not agree to a date for the hearing until he received further details of the charge.

The RFL has said it would present him with those in advance.

An RFL spokesperson said: "Any club that is charged in relation to breaches of the RFL operational rules and salary cap regulations will be presented with the full case file of evidence at least 14 days before the hearing takes place.

"The RFL will present its case, the club will have the opportunity to respond and it is then up to an independent tribunal to decide as to whether a breach has occurred and what the subsequent punishment should be."

The Red Devils could be docked as many as 20 points if they are found to have exceeded the £1.825million wage ceiling in 2014 and 2015.
