looks like he is going so salford for next season

would have liked to have kept him as i think he is a very good prop

but with rapira coming in can see why they are letting him goo

patrick and taai can also fill in at prop when needed with a couple of youngsters waiting in the wings

cant keep em all!

He was offered a new contract quite a while ago which he refused,it looks like he has been tapped up.

Well good luck to him

Hope he can make up for his shoulder charge next week

Re: kopczak : Mon Sep 28, 2015 2:00 pm  

Just the type of player we need after a couple of years of overpaid, over the hill mercenaries.

Re: kopczak : Mon Sep 28, 2015 2:32 pm  

Good luck to the lad, but I can't say I'm too fussed about him going, think he's been average, gives away too many stupid penalties and doesn't seem to make many yards or make too many tackle busts, think we can do a lot better with the money spent elsewhere.

Re: kopczak : Mon Sep 28, 2015 2:52 pm  

Agree - can't say i'm over disappointed if he goes, nothing against him just don't think he's pulled up too many trees for us in his time !

Re: kopczak : Mon Sep 28, 2015 4:32 pm  

Granted it's a short career in RL and you want to make good money whilst you can, but I think he's a bit daft to leave a team challenging at the top of the table for the circus soap opera that is Salford.

He is an average player who lifts his game from time to time, With what it cost to get rid of Mason to sign him, he has not been worth it. If he was at something like his best all the time it would be different. There are plenty better, who give away far less penalties.

Koppy had nothing to do with sacking Mason. Park that one at the door of Thewlis and the Agent.
I wish him good luck, His Stats would suggest he was a lot better than some who post on here would admit.
Anderson always selected and trusted him as did his Team mates. Giants decided not to offer him a new deal so, time will tell if we get someone better. Best wishes Koppy you did win something for us.!

Re: kopczak : Mon Sep 28, 2015 7:07 pm  

again like Ferres there is a perception he gives away a lot of penalties when he doesn't. Apart from the first half of last season he has played really well for us. However he has chosen to move on so good luck to him.
