Korkidas watch : Thu Apr 23, 2009 11:45 am  

Anyone got any info on Korkidas. My concern about raleigh being injured is that we have lost a good second rower who could fill in at prop.

this allowed Brown to go into games with 3 props and use raleigh to spell them.

with Raleigh out we cannot afford to lose another prop or to give any of our props a proper squad rotation unless Korkidas comes back into the fold. he seems to have even fallen lower in the pecking order than Laren Patrick

has anyone seen Korkidas in the reserves

Does Brown have a plan to re train him / get him fit

Is there anything else going on that people can shed some light on

Is he turning out to be huge and expensive mistake.

I think Castleford were laughing when you took him off their hands

He was signed as a reserve player.

He played for your reserves vs wigan and he looked good

He got a mention in last weeks Examiner. He's playing well in the reserves according to them.

Watched him play for the reserves v Leeds last week, he played 20mins and was totally pi**ed off when rested till half-time, seemed very 'up for it' and didn't do a bad job.... maybe the fact the Giants blasted the Rhinos away in that first half hour had something to do with it ????
I think he's there as a squad player and with the injury to Raleigh it should be his chance to earn his contract.....

Real shame what has happened to Korki since he left us in 2006, such a top bloke, hope he can break into your 17 and put in a good stint for your lot for the rest of the season.

you signed a reserve player on a 3 years deal then!?? Why would any club do that?

Because it is heavily reliant on incentive and performance based aspects perhaps.
