Michael Korkidas : Mon May 04, 2009 9:10 pm  

Good evening Giants.


A strong rumour suggests that Michael Korkidas will be signing for us shortly on loan and was spotted at Widnes by several people last week. But it was also noticed that he played for the Giants yesterday, whats the situation with Michael? is he likely to remain in the team or was it because you had a couple of knocks and that's the only reason he played?

Korky was signed as a back up player to our regular props - i've also heard he's going back to Wakefield on loan too.

played well on saturday, seems to be hitting form. don't think they will put him on loan while he is playing well.

He did ok on saturday but it was his 1st appearance in the 1st team for a while though so i guess he was trying to impress

Korky was dropped into the reserves.

He has been playing quite well in the reserves so got a recall into the 1st team, but he will have to improve in order to stay at the Giants.

I could see him going out on loan maybe to a Championship team.

watched him in scotland, thought he played really well. probably one of your best props , that day. listened to todays game on the radio, he got good raps from the commentator and seemed to have a good game. don't see why you are disappointed. would you have been pleased if he had broke one tackle and had a bad game.. when a player first comes into a team from 21's , he needs support and time to adjust give the lad a break.

I thought he was good at Murrayfield but he seemed to symbolise the pack today just not dominant enough against the part timers.

I wish our props could be as dominant as our Hookers.

You can't beat a dominant hooker
