Can I float the possibility of getting rid of 'Korki' as well, as he's also not any good, and get in two new 'impact' props? By the way, I never knew 'impact' meant wriggling around on the floor when tackled. I know he 'loves' the club, but so do I, and I ain't getting a game.

Korki has been a great servant to the club, but i think if we are to improve a replacement (or 2) must be found for MK. I think we should only retain Korki if there are absolutely no other options.

I never signed we should sign him, I said in my original post that we should try to sign somebody like George Rose. So it isn't a pointless argument when using an example as a comparison.

We need a halfback and we should look to sign someone like Jonathan Thurston then.

There's where I think a lot of people's opinions differ. Let's be completely honest he was quick to jump ship when he thought we were gone in 2006, whether his agent had something to do with that or not, if had he been such a great servant and loves the club so much surely he would have waited to see the outcome, other players did. He had opportunities after Salford to come back but followed the money. Lastly, let's not forget he is only been with us for the last couple of seasons because Huddersfield didn't feel the need to keep him. Apart from his first stint at the club he has never been our player, so to say Michael Korkidas has been a great servant is not quite accurate.

Wow, what a mature response. Good to see that people can make a reasonable argument without taking it to another extreme.

I only said a player LIKE Thurston....

It was a pointless argument because George Rose is a freak in that he carries his weight so well on the field. There isn't another player like George Rose. All other players of that size are pretty much Hickey-esque or a ten minute a time luxury like Solomana. Or not particularly good like Higgins or Paleaaesina.

I'm baffled by this one - unless there has been a very good deal done, which seems unlikely, I would suggest that we've had our pants pulled down. Again.

How do you work that one out then, as you were one of quite a number of fans that could not get rid of him fast enough

Re: Cheers Jarrad! : Fri Sep 23, 2011 10:38 am  

I hope Quinns are gonna slow the rook speed down, cos when this man hits the deck they are playing with 12 men for the next couple of plays. All the best.

I most certainly wasn't; I've defended the signing from the beginning and said that if we could get him fit, he could be devastating.

Try again.

You did, you were totally wrong but you certainly did.

I didn't, I thought he was a disaster from the start.
