How do you know the problem was scully ????? As I said before reading between the lines I thought it might be something the club did but who knows.

People who I regard as being closer to the club than I am seem to hold that view. The problem might not end there, but if he was one of the problems, all well and good. I don't know who con's comment in the Huddersfield thread was aimed at, but Scully has gone fairly quickly after the weekend.

| to be honest signing korki is a waste of time for both you and us the giants, he is nowhere near the player he was, lacking agression, looks smaller and makes very little impact, not sure about scully for us seems to be injured too much. in fact the last game he played for us he only played about 15 minutes and looked knackered, seems a nice bloke but a poor player to me.

JK will have taken a close look at Korki and can obviously see a role ofr him. One thing is for sure anyone I have spoken to says he has an excellent attitude, is a good squad member and gives 100%
As JK sees Scully as trouble then moving him out and bringing in a guy with a good attitude will have a wider impact .
Best wishes Korki!

scully has always had a good offload and needs others players to back his runs up, but its his attitude that has upset the apple cart, he has obviously got a problem with being told what to do and discipline is needed in this game or the results is what we watched on sunday even tho he didn't play,

Thank You Snowie and also do I get a point for the Scully rant I gave 2 and a half week ago what now seems to be justified. ??? pretty please

| Seems like Korki is back if so I believe this to be a shrewd move. Korki loves Wakey and the majority of us love Korki. One big bust which we know he is capable of will lift the crowd and lift the players around him. Maybe he isn't the player he once was but he will defo raise his game for us thats for sure he could well be the spark we need all be it for no more than 20mins a game but is heart as been in wakey even when he was at Salford, Cas and Shudds. Him with a couple of loans would do the trick for us. Shrewd move by JK this one. Don't no what is happening with Scullys wage packet but I think this is a good move by JK.

Just look at Sunday's game. Do you think we lacked power/grunt? we had Jackson / Patrick unused as well as Korki. We can also move raleigh to prop, Faiumu to back row and Lunt to hooker. So we have penty of muscle.
Scully has a new club and a fresh start. If motivated and fit he can offer some options few have in SL. Brown must think these options will add something to us. If he does not come up to scratch then he has not replaced a regular 1st teamer.
A win win looks possible.

first twenty mins we was equal to you and at h/t we we was within close points of you,
heads went down after your two scores after h/t and the rest is history,
if I can make a point its the first time that I have seen you play that good, and like I say well done but the rest of the time your side lays down and has its belly tickled scully will give you the off load that's for sure, but do him a favour get him fit

first 30 mins nip / tuck. Then we scored a point a minute for 50 minutes.
We have played well in several games (40+pts versus Quins twice) + beating catalns and HKR away both 30 - 8
Mason has gone from 30 to near 50 mins per game. Fewer penatties / errors and more yards. So the new fitness guy is getting rsults.

Yeah but some are even blaming him for Grix and Gleeson being crap recently! I guess he wasn't at the club when they were both playing well last year. We are so fickle I give it a month before the first bring back Scully thread!

answer me this then smart ass - if korki had 1yr left on his deal at cas (having signed a 2 yr deal) on a salary of circa £80k a yr reportadly - how could he have signed a 2 yr deal for hudds if we had not paid him off and reached an agreement whereby his association with our great club existed no more?
think about it......oh yes he accepted his pay off and agreed a 2 yr deal with hudds on completely seperate payment terms - i am not privy to what those are but i'm sure it wouldnt of been £0 for the first year then a salary the 2nd do you? clown!!!!

| 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.

Too many, however with Blanch out for the season, technically the numbers will remain the same.
Back on topic, playing wise I am sad to see Sculthorpe go as despite NGB4C protestations he has been one of the better forwards of recent weeks. However, no matter how good a player is, if they disrupt the team then the club will be better of without them.
Korkidas is like Marmite. I was a fan of his while he was last at Wakefield but also realised his limitations as a player. He is one dimensional and is replacing a prop who is able to create as well as make the hard yards. However, if the rumours of legal action and poor attitude towards the young players are true then I would rather have the one dimensional team player in the squad.
Things are pretty poor at the moment so it’s a gamble worth taking IMO.
