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.

Diossappointing today.., Did he break a tackle. Does not really run his weight. seems very similar to Jacko does the job but nothing outstanding

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.

Thought he did ok today myself, broke the line in the first play if i remember correctly.

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

You can SG --but I`m told its "extra"!



(oops - sorry!!
SG - we`re drifting O/T!!

)

I thought he had one of his better games today too, Ran hard and strong and took some stopping.

Just wish he would stop preening himself after every drive, he stops picks himself up , plays the ball then re-arranges his shirt and shorts? needs a bloody big mirror on the sideline lol.

Good game for him today though IMO

I thought he ran well today and made a lot of tackles. Let himself down by giving away a couple of penalties in the second half though. Easily as good as Jacko and Griff yesterday though. Good to see him providing genuine competition for front row places.

i agree with you there Ponner...i think your been a little too harsh on korky i thought he had a good game taking the ball up well on the frist tackle on many occasion and he seemed alright in defence too. i think it would be a shame if he went to widnes because from what i have seen of him, he seems a decent player. also, we need some props to be the 18th man sometimes becuase we have little cover for props except for a few young uns

i'd agree with that mate. not doing a bad job in defence according to cullen on boots n all last week . gave him a good rap.

i'd like to see him back at wakefield but i dont know how much truth is in the rumour.
