Not sure what to make of this really. Korki was taken as a project by Brown at the beggining of the season in the hope that we could get him down to his fighting weight, get his confidence back and turn him back to the player he was. Well he lost the weight and got some games but has failed to re-discover that form.

I think he has lost his mojo in the same way players like fielden and thorman have done, i dont expect him to be able to get it back. In that respect if all he was going to do for us was the odd 15 mins in the odd game it might be a decent bit of business.

I must say though i have always regarded Sculthorpe as talented but a bit dull and stupid in his decision making on the pitch. Sounds like he may be a bit of a disruptive soul as well but I am prepared to say welcome Danny and good luck.

No probs.

Interesting article that as well IMO, as Brown mentions just how popular Korki is. I can't knock him really, I was sceptical about him coming because I didn't think he'd get a game and whilst that's pretty much been the case his attitude and application has been top drawer and he seems to have become a popular member of our squad. And when he has gotten a game, whilst not being outstanding, he hasn't been a walking knock on machine and dropped off tackles like a fly on its last legs either.

I'm not sure who is paying who how much but Sculthorpe will cost more with medical treatment than he deserves to get paid.

Korky sitting on the bench cost nothing other than his contract.

Not really, this is usually covered by medical insurance.

Scully for me doesn't lack skill or aggression, infact he often creates space and offloads the ball well. But sometimes he just makes some dumb decisions.

Also I'd imagine his fluctuating weight is down to his diabetes rather than commitment to training.

Korki (still) paid by Castleford.

Where do you get this from?

Glass back was paid off by Cas when he left.....

Good luck Korki. I'm really not sure what to make of Scully? I suppose we can only judge him after a few games.

Great offload, but cant be the main pack man, but thats ok, like Jacko and Griff I an hoping he will unlock hjis potential with a better club than what he has been used to.

Maybe it's the drink.

Think you have the best end of the deal while Scully has spent a fair bit of time injured and does concede a lot of silly penalties he is a strong runner with good hands. Korki on the other hand is no better than what we already have and still mkes the same basic mistakes he has made since he first arrived at Wakey.
