Korki- the future : Thu Jul 16, 2009 12:12 pm  

Heard a rumour that he might be coming back to Salford next year, he is on loan at the moment with you any surggestion of a perminant deal?, if it is true and he's coming to salford id jump in my car and pick him up and drive him back as he was fantastic the one year he was with us.

I think given his status with regards to imports I think Korkidas has shown that he is worth a permanent 1 – 2 years deal (Personally I would prefer 1 as playing for a contract seems to get the best out of Korkidas, but no doubt that would be unfavourable to the player).

Not heard anything with regards to him moving to here or Salford, but the Giants have him for another 2 years so a player swap or a transfer fee would be involved.

I'd keep him if we could. He's proved he's worth keeping as far as I am concerned.
If Salford got him they'd have a good signing

They've already got Sculthorpe.....how could they want more?

I'm not sure it would be a player exchange thing with them. They have a pretty good squad already. Unless we were giving up Brough or you were giving up Myler, I don't think they'd be sweating too much.

He is surplus to requirements there so I reckon they woul just do a deal to cut his contract early.
Only my own conjecture though. No facts

Think they would be happy to let him go to be fair!!!! They dont need him, he has not played well for them, and as it stands they are 'stuck' him him for another 2 years!

Hard to say as Trinity have a lot of OOC players this time round so the players that would be the most likely to feature in any sort of swap deal more then likely will not be here anyway, if Trinity had Sculthorpe for another year then perhaps he could’ve been used in swap deal.

I think we need to try all we can to keep Korki, he rarely misses games through injury and would help us put together a massive pack for next season if we sign Tronc too.

I've said this before about Korki he should use his brain and stay where he is happy and not exactly where the most money is! He has played better for us than any of Cas, Hudds or Salford but then of course he isnt our player!

I think Korkidas at home at Wakefield Trinity and definitely regrets ever leaving.

No doubt he had a very good season whilst with Salford and I'm sure he doesn't regret the time he spent there. Moving to Castleford and then to Huddersfield Giants has been a personal nightmare for him and returning to Wakefield has rejuvenated his career.

If we don't sign him I'm sure he would be happy to return to Salford but I get the feeling that he would move heaven and earth to stay with Trinity.

As for our front row next year I can see Korkidas being part of a very effective pack.
With the rumoured additions of Shane Tronc, Terry Newton to go alongside James Stosic, Richard Moore, Oliver Wilkes and probably Korkidas. Wakefield Trinity will have a very difficult pack to contain and hopefully with the addition of a new stand off to go alongside Danny Brough we will have a half backs to steer them around the field.
