Why so negative?

King had a dodgy first SL season but has been class ever since. He will go back to the NRL and play top level for another 2-3 years, nothing wrong with that.

Not negative.
Just answering the question will King Play for NSW or Oz again.
He will not in my opinion.
What I posted was just the facts.

In what sense are the following ‘facts’?

When King was announced a Wire I remember a poster, allegedly au fait with the Aussie players and NRL, stating "If you think Jamie Lyon was good, wait until you see Matt King!"

and?

And he wasn't even as good as Jamie Field

And now his SL strike rate for last year and this year is 29 tries in 33. Plus 16 try assists. 5th top tackle buster last year too.

So yes he had a bad start, but he's done well under Tony Smith.

After watching 35 year old prop Petero Civoniceva side step his way under the posts last week, I would suggest that any decent player would get a hat full in the ‘defence regimented NRL’!

Kings not in the same class as Lyon and thats what people thought he was. Once we got over his price tag he's gone okay in the SL, one of the better centres but certainly not value for money
