Marwan Koukash apologizes about the Salford performance
Salford owner Marwan Koukash issued an apology for his side's 38-0 thrashing by St Helens in their First Utility Super League match at the AJ Bell Stadium.
Back-to-back wins in their opening two games had given Koukash's expensively-assembled Red Devils a chance to go top of the table for the first time in the summer-season era, but they were given a reality check by their red-hot visitors.
It was all too easy for Saints as Australian scrum-half Luke Walsh followed up his 18-point haul on debut a fortnight earlier with another 18 from seven goals and one of his side's six tries.
"Apologies to our fans for a very bad performance tonight and well done Saints," Koukash tweeted within 10 minutes of the final whistle. "We won't play this bad again."
