One of the clowns on the wakey board who claims to have 'inside knowledge' says Korki has had a nightmare at the Giants! What a buffoon.
Korki has dramatically improved his fitness with us and learned quite a bit from NB, Baloo and Bumper.
When games do not clash Korki is to be found at giants games sitting with Giants squad members having a laugh. He was at the away game at Salford sat with our players and having a joke with NB. Hardly the behaviour of someone who has had a nightmare!
He came as our 5/6 prop and because of good form, low injuries and no bans he has had limited game time.
A popular squad member and +ve about the Giants.
korki has improved emmensely since leaving castleford, as other players that leave cas and go to other clubs seem to. two of the main reasons imo are nb and jk. he went to hudds brown and bumper told him exactly what they wanted from him and helped him get there.. took the weight off him, got him down to the exact same weight he was when he came from oz to wakey. got him fit. the guy did every extra that was on offer at hudds , starting early and finishing late. nb played him when he could get him in the first team, and built his confidence . think if he hadn't have had a lot of similar props he would have done better at hudds. jk put a lot of faith in korki, put no pressure on him and is getting the best from him as he usually does from his players. (great man management) imo korki is playing some excellent rugby and will only get better. hope he stays at wakey. personally i think that is where he is happy and where he belongs, but nb and his coaching staff can take a lot of the credit for getting the lad back on the horse. well done nb.
