We can all follow this if we want.

Have HEART and FAITH in the team. Instead of getting on players backs, why not shout 'encouragement' and 'support' rather than 'negativity' and 'abuse.'

We all make mistakes. People drop the ball more than others.

Korki is back. Love him/hate him. I don't know of any other former player that used to watch his old club as much as Korki did (maybe Willy Poching.)

Remember - he's wearing red, white and blue - back him.

I promise you.

There are POSITIVES to come for the WHOLE club just around the corner.

Really exciting news.

I'm sorry I can't say on here - I'd probably lose my job too if I say anything.

Please just ride on the Wildcats rollercoaster. It's what we're all used to.

Enjoy it.

It's OUR club.

Wakefield till I die.

well said mate.

Make sure you post the information on the Huddersfield board as well, please - when you can, of course. There are a few posters there who are most concerned about the state of our club at the moment, and who will no doubt be very relieved to read some good news. Thanks.

I think they are both pants tbh, i honestly thought we were attempting to move forward not bring back someone who just isnt good enough...he's been playin reserve grade at huddersfield so if he gets straight in our forwards whats that saying!!!!! i would have had a bash at getting mick nayn in on couple months loan strengthen the fringes.....

we are scraping the barrel if you think that, one of the laziest players for his size ever, could place kick tho give him that.

I can see that point of view. It is more the case that if you read this thread you'd get the impression that he was useless. Whenever he played he ran it in as hard as any other and offered options. When we used him at loose he did what was asked. As for the view he lacked commitment, he won MoM in his last game. Yes he has been a silly lad with the incident, but some people are rewriting history on the basis of that.

Don't come on here with your facts! It's Scully's fault that we've not won for 4 games and it's his fault that Grix has been crap since he came back from injury oh and Gleeson as well. Now he has gone and Korki is back I fully expect a charge up the table and we may just still win the league but the grand final is forgone conclusion.

the guy was useless. for the time he was with us, how many times did he play? he had more injuries than evil kenevil. the first season he was totally overweight and unfit. i have never seen him show any real speed or aggression , apart from in a punch up. a lot of the young players will be glad to see the back of him. we are in a no lose situation for once. korki is on loan. he has been playing ok at hudds. best of luck to the lad.

He played 25 games last season. How much play did we really get out of Korki in his last year?

As for the comment about speed, is that the sole attribute for a prop?

My point isn't that Sculthorpe shouldn't go. Once has player has vexed on his chips he has to go. What I am questioning is this need some have to rewrite the past on the basis of the fall out. Sculpthorpe was an effective prop who offered something different from the others we possess. I hope the prodigal son finds his best form on his return to us, but it is stretching credulity to consider his recent form as good enough. I appreciate he is on loan and so in some respects if he plays well it is a bonus, but let us not forget the reason he didn't return to his beloved Wakefield was (reputedly and fairly obviously) cash, with figures bandied about being more than have been talked about for Sculthorpe.

I would have been very disappointed if we'd signed Korki at the start of the season, but under the circumstances, we're making the best out of a bad situation. Lets be honest, it's team spirit that got us where we were at the start of the season, and if having Korki back on loan brings that spirit back too, then it's mission accomplished (in the short term, at least).

I have no qualms with that argument. I just don't see the need to do down Sculthorpe's contribution, nor hype up the homecoming of King Korki.

The whole point of Scully getting a hard time now is because people see him differently in relation to how he fitted into the team spirit, based on how people close to the club have reported his behaviour on here and how he responded to his misdemeanour. People are entitled to reassess their opinion of him. And as for Mary Millington's hint of good news, I would be happy to take unsubstantiated rumour at this stage, given that most daft rumours are negative, not positive. Add a knowing wink or something.

He does know what he's talking about and it is good news.
