And yes, this is my hobby horse, but to describe him as such really demeans that tag to the real legends of this club who actually won things and brought glory to the name of Wakefield Trinity. I've never understood the culture of over-praising the average, and perhaps thats why I don't see this as the second coming others do when technically and skillwise, we've got second best in this deal.'"
Maybe we have but then again maybe not, we don't know the circumstances of Scullys fall out with Kear and the club, so to say we've got second best is at best a guess.
Korki is not a legend at Wakey and IMO no player deserves to be classed has "legend" or Hero for that matter, thats reserved for people who deserve it.

Top and bottom of it is that Scullys recent behaviour had burnt all relationships with John Kear and had he stayed he would not have played again. As an outsider looking in, the players that took the field on Saturday looked a lot more relaxed and happier in their game. Why that should be and exactly what is going on within the club at the mo, I don't know.

Yep so it can't right that we've got second best from the deal can it.
Thats not to say "who's" best but we have to deal with whats in front of us and i think Kears got this right, he's brought team spirit back into the dressing room. How long that will last i don't now.

| Quote: PopTart "Can't see why people knock Korki at all.
His big plus, as previously stated above is that he makes yards, even when he is first man in and the defense is strong.
That alone is worth some faults as Wakefield are lacking that at the moment.
People talk as if he fell off the planet when he left us but he was well regarded at Salford, he was their top metre gainer and in the top 10 metre gainers in the league that year. If you look on the Super League web site he was comparible with Jamie Peacock in most areas. I pretty sure we'd be happy if we signed him.
The wheels came off when he had to go to Cas. Wrong club for him simple as that.
At the Giants there were too many like him. Brown has hardly slagged him off but said he deserves a better chance. Let's give it to him I say.
I thought he made a good partnership with Stosic when they were on together. With Moore and Wilkes and sometimes Bibey we have a pretty balanced and a little bit frightening 4 props there.
I had a lot of time for Sculthorpe but we just weren't right for him. In a team whose game plan revolved around him he'd be great(ish) but that's not us. He has put some great try making passes in while he's been here but not enough to swap for hard yards.
Again as previously said, Solomona was a lot better at what he does and we all realised that the team as a whole got better when he left.
Too many posts about the small problems in a guys game rather than the positives in it. Same as for Rooney, Grix and Hendo. When they are not in we say they have to be in because they must be better than what we have, even though they haven't played after injury, then when they are in they are rubbish.
Korki is a good yard maker, balance him with a tackler
Rooney is a try scorer, cover his tackling or creativity somewhere else
Grix is an all rounder with lots of skill, either accept he's covering other holes or give him his position.
Hendo works harder than most in defense so someone else can score the long range tries
Current status is we are in 6th place with lots of improvement in us. I'm happy with that for now.
Few, glad I got that off my chest.'"
Good post.

Exactly what I wrote - in terms of skill and ability I believe we have.
The alleged off-field stuff, baring in mind I doubt the full story will come out for a while, is difficult to comment on without the facts. Of course, now he's elsewhere, he's turned into the worst player ever to wear a Wakefield shirt in the eyes of some.
Yes, Korkidas may take the ball up...but so do our other forwards - we have 4 very similar styled props now.
