THERE was at least one thing to smile about for Warrington Wolves fans on Friday.

Former Salford Red Devils owner Marwan Koukash took on the Wire Flyer in the half time challenge at The Halliwell Jones Stadium.

And despite a hefty headstart and a bit of bending of the rules, the Flyer had far too much speed for the race horse owner.

Koukash had challenged the 'green monster' as he dubbed the Flyer during a Twitter spat.

And while the Flyer won the race, Koukash had the last laugh though as Salford ran out easy winners on the afternoon.
