Wakefield and Salford fans both desperate to take him off our hands.
viewtopic.php?t=419897
I wish i knew for certain what was gonna happen with our props. Lots of rumours and no real news.
There appears to be a lot of discussion about Hull losing Sam Moa who i think with a stone less weight would be a good signing.

| I would not say desperate DG but i think he would be welcome to stay if it suits all parties.

| 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.

| A pal of mine who lives very near Leeds Rd Playing Fields says that MK worked his nuts off to get fit. ATEOTD he just doesn't quite have the uality to displace our props but he will be an auto starter for Wakey, I can't see NB standing in his way if he wants to leave. Mind you, he is good, cheap cover for us so you never know. It'll depend on whether Griff, Jacko leave etc etc.

That is good to hear . I hope that we can have 5 good props next year and am quite happy that I can trust NB and Baloo to work out which ones they are. At the minute though it seems that Mason and Eorl will be two of them who will be the other three . I have heard no one deny the Griffinn going rumours so i assume they are true.

| Recent articles with Nathan have been very complimentary about Griff and his performances have picked up. It may be that he could still stay with us, who knows. Griff also has admitted to struggling under Nathan initially but that he is now coming to terms with what is required of him.
Last season Griff was arguably our best prop, this season he's been 3rd at best. But when he plays to his best he is a handful for anyone. His hits in defence are as good as anyones.
I'm not sure going to Wigan is the best move for Griff. Fielden struggles, Feka can't play long enough. I'm not sure he has the temperament to handle the pressure there, his temperament is clearly his weakness IMO.

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.

Korki is a first rate bloke. Deserved better than he got at Cas. If coached well he plays well.
