Hopefully not. We're building a good squad, the last thing we need is a hugely overrated defensive liability.

So were not getting Feka then? personally always thought Korki put his heart and soul into playing for the club, ok he's never going to be the best prop in the world but for me he was always good value and great entertainment.

We hope not!!!!!!!!!! Sorry most would hope McRae is not!!!!!

Feka > Korki

I think both are fantastic players with fire in their bellies, i have a feeling Feka will be Neil Baynes mark 2 ( 10 minutes of world class forward play 10-30m out against a unorganised line 10 minutes bent in half gasping for air and dropping of tackles)

Both love joining the tackle late both for different reasons one because it takes more energy and time away from the attacker bench pressing a 20 stone man before playing the ball and the other just loves smashing sitting ducks.

Korki was best in centre field eating up the metres and putting us in areas which hurt other teams, even though he had pan hands thats the nature of the beast make 20 yards or knock on.

Both need to be used correctly to get the benefit for the team rather than just given the ball too and ran straight into a welcoming committee 1st tackle

Would be a dream front row combo korki, cashmere,feka and jewitt, if it came im sure the words "salfords front row were domminated by..." would not get used.

Now I'm going to have to insist that you stop this immediately, talking such sense is not allowed. Korki is wonderfully described and yes think your right that front row combo would never be beasted by anything currently in SL. Also would give a wonderfully big broad sheild for Smith/Ratchford and Smith to work behind. Also if you think we've got LL playing at hooker next year that is on formidable formation.

I don't think we hurt anyone in 2007.

Think it's slightly subjective to the people around him, it's immaterial as I doubt he's heading back to Salford but think the squad he'd have around him next season would afford him a much better platform to perform to the best of his abilities.
