Luckily for Wire, if Matt King hasn't met expections, then they have been fortunate to have Chris Hicks in their side as he has certainly gone beyond mine.

Ok don't know how true this is (got it off Wilkepedia) but he is a prominant goal kicker and with Briers missing so many why not give him a go. He couldn't do any worse surely (Briers stats - 16 missed goals already).

PS - Talking about Hicks.

he's waiting for the grounds to firm up.....

Whatever money King is or isn't on Warrington are certainly getting better value for their money than Wigan are for the money Karl Pryce is getting, not to mention the "transfer fee" paid to Gloucester.

I have heard that Wigan have given up hope of Pryce ever playing for them.

Was Pryce given a fitness test before Wigan signed him? Perhaps Mr. "I love my own voice" Chairmain could make a statement about Pryce and confirm that he passed a fitness test before Wigan signed him.

I think a lot of the Aussies struggle with the cold & heavy grounds early on it might be a different story if we have a summer this year.

It's you. For future reference, it normally is you.

Are people seriously comparing Matt 'Aussie International' King and George 'Who?' Carmont?

No. King Piemong is - slight difference.

10 out of 10 for trying to change the subject. But 0 out of 10 for relevance. Karl Pryce is getting very little from Wigan because we had very little left under the cap to play with. It's so minuscule a fraction of what you're paying King that it can't even be included in the same conversation. And what's a transfer fee these days? If it doesn't count on the cap, it doesn't really matter, does it.



Rubbish. But another good effort. When struggling, make something up.




Yep. The club was fully aware of his injury situation.



He already has done. He also made it clear - at the very start - that Pryce was not fit and had been brought in as a long-term signing. As a result, we're not all sitting around with baited breath waiting for his return, the way you lot are sitting around waiting for Matt King to actually do something.

He has had to learn fancy footwork as he seems incapable of passing to his winger.

Sound like Trent Barrett.

And Fielden

And Bailey

And Palea'fat whatever his name is

etc.

Not just me flower over people are



Oh and the stats dont lie

When all them players wages add up to Matt Kings I'm not that bothered.

Welcome back, didn't hear much from you after the Wire match and then total invisibility after Good Friday but clearly your teams' devastation of HKR on Monday has brought out the best in you.
For the record I think I speak for the majority of Wire fans when I say what a t!t we all think you are. I appreciate you will respond with the old "another bite" response but I am equally certain in my judgement that you are the David Vaeliki (sp) of this forum.

I'm sure they do.

It's not my money I don't care. I mean oh my god we had to let Henry Fa'afili go to fit King under the cap!

All I care about is that I would rather have King than Carmont and I would guess that most sensible Wigan fans would too. After all Wigan were in for him first.

We haven't actually signed Pryce yet have we? That was my understanding.

Typical pie-eaters, never seeing the big picture.

Gidley (Missed tackles - 1)
Carmont (Missed tackles - 10)



Carmont certainly proves Wigan know how to spot a great player.</irony>

It's amazing how people can give such a detailed view of somebody that they've only seen play on SKY so far, in these games he has scored 2 tries in just over 170 minutes of action.

I have said since day one in my opinion King is overrated. When the discussion was going on preseason I stated then I felt Matt Cooper is the better centre and after that I feel Gasnier, Bell and Hodges are even better.
Having said that I think any centre playing on the left for us is on a downer to begin with. We still attack the right 7/10. On the other hand Gleeson has been fantastic up to now for us and having King on the other side certainly has spread the defences so to speak. Gives us that other option.

Is Carmont better than King? Never, is King overrated? I personally think so.

Oh my...... viewtopic.php? ... c&start=15

Oh my...... viewtopic.php? ... c&start=15

Do you know the reason why? I do.

For a start I'm not a pie-eater. I'm from Yorkshire.

And how is just missed tackles the bigger picture? It's also well then to point out:

Matt Gidley

Meters 466
Carries 73
Tackles 101
Offloads 11


George Carmont


544 Meters
87 Carries
118 Tackles
13 Offloads


While we're at it:

Matt Gidley

Tackle Busts 7
Marker tackles 14
Clean Breaks 0


George Carmont

10 Tackle Busts
20 Marker tackles
6 Clean Breaks



That a big enough picture for ya?

We were however pulled out because he proved to expensive and we couldn't
fit him under the cap. So made the more sensible move to sign George Carmont who is on a lot less than Matt King and so far his stats are far better than King's.
