Showing an incredible improvement this season, played exceptionally well on Friday, a lot more to come as well as his confidence grows I suspect. Could develop into a special player with a bit of luck, which given I had fears he would go the same way as R Evans shows what I know.
(Watch Rhys ram this down my throat tomorrow with a match winning performance).

Has a great year this year, I know there are calls for him to move in to the back row, but I feel we would miss him in the centre, defensively he has been good for a while, but his attacking game has really come on this year, looks much more dangerous.

Never saw all the fuss until this season
Easily the winner of the Most Improved Player, this season

Class. And I think makes his 100th appearance for Wire on Tuesday night.

Playing well the lad. Credit where it’s due.

He's definately pushing for an England spot in my oppinion

Who are the potential England centres?

Watkins
Lyne
Newman
Percival
Gildart
Hardaker

I think were all named in Wane's initial England squad earlier in the year (King wasn't included), i'd agree he's up there with the best of them right now.

Great player. I think the team looks better with him in the second row, he plays great at centre or second row but the team is more dynamic with him there because he has far more of an all round game than Hughes or clark. I like the way he tries to cause the opposition problems, he has a cool head and his attention to detail in the tackle wrapping the ball up etc shows his class. I'm glad people are seeing his quality now.

Class. Will get even better learning from GI next year too.

Not that he's not greatly improved since but I don't think that he's really looked back since the Challenge Cup Semi Final V Leeds

For comparison purposes roughly the same number as Dec Patton,

I would agree with that. Question marks over Percival’s fitness and Connors in & out form - there’s definitely an opportunity for him there.

King has got better and better each season and has been more integral to the side over the last 12 month, especially as an attacking threat. We all know he can defend well, apart from jumping out the line every now and then, he’s very good defensively - 1 v 1 he is spot on.

He’s been a lot more consistent with his performances this year and it’s at no surprise because of his form, Lineham was our top try scorer before he had his brain fart vs Cas. King isn’t afraid of taking an opportunity and back’s himself to try different things, whether that be offloading in his own 20 or climbing up for cross field bomb. I hope he continues his form and hopefully he can push it a couple notches further when GI arrives next year.

Jake Connor far too inconsistent

King is a shoe in for centre

Try ratio of almost 1/3, looks reasonable for a centre.

Watkins looks to be 'semi-revived' by his move to Salford, prior to that he looked well out of contention. Lyne nothing special. Newman very promising but going to miss a big spell now with his injury. Percival a skilful player but looks fragile ( not a good thing for a World Cup squad spot). Gildart is a good player if a bit lightweight to front up against Aus/NZ and even Tongan backs. Hardaker is much better at fullback. Jake Connor not mentioned here, seems to have lost it , I'm afraid. Huddersfield's Wardle looks good to me. All things considered, King can't be too far off an England place.

On VT, someone mentioned the Farnworth lad who has been playing regularly for Brisbane this year - Personally think it's a long shot and based purely on him playing ok at a higher level, but with the lack of any standout centres in our league, it wouldn't be a shock if Wane took a punt?

Looking at the list above, it shows we are short of quality centres I think.

I am certain we'll see a revival of Watkins - that's just what Watson does.
Gildart is good
Newman is one for the future.
Percival good but getting too many injuries too often.
Lyne seems to blow a bit not and cold.
Hardacker can do a job at centre but much better at full back. Don't think he is a natural centre.

Toby has improved without a doubt and doesn't make too many dumb reads (excusing that one against Wigan).
I actually really like him at 2nd row - he seems to be able to show off his creativity more but just my opinion.

I like king I think hes a season off being ready for international level he could play now but I think that if he doesn't shine he will lose his spot.

Percival gildart if fit are our best options. Connor is too inconsistent and sees himself at 6 so I wouldn't be keen on him at centre but if he gets a good run of form he would cause the Australian nz sides the biggest problems.

King needs to stand out a bit more especially in big games he played well in the semi final but he needs to be the game breaker in a few of the tight games to stand out a bit more.

This is no way a criticism of him he has shown potential early in and glimpses of what he is capable of but of late hes a lot more consista t and confident and has improved an awful lot.

I dont get the second row yes he can play there but currie can play centre why would we put our best second row at centre and best centre at second row ?? Hes being talked about on this group as a potential gb centre why change it and more than likely get a centre whose not as good as king ??

Like Greg inglis?

King is very good in second row and centre. Our whole team played better with him at second row. The second row these days is a key position to link the forwards and backs and Currie and King is a fantastic second row. I do like what Hughes and Clark bring in defence but there is a huge price to pay for it in attack especially if they're on the pitch at the same time. Next year Gelling and inglis in centre with king and currie in 2nd row for me. Hughes and Clark can share 13 and bench spots, hughes starting at 13 ideally.

For the time being we don't really have any sensible centre cover with mamo out injured so King has to stay in the centres with Gelling. It's not a bad thing he's a brilliant centre too. I actually think Kings long term preference will be based on what gives him the best chance of an international call up and that's very likely to be centre but with small international squad sizes showing the versatility to play both could be a big feather in his cap.

Possibly. But inglis wont be long term really.

We will have to see what our squad looks like at the start of next season to get a better idea we could have inglis at full back too...just throwing that out there widdop to oz ratch to 6 inglis to fullback and we use widdops money on a prop ??

Our pack would be extremely light with king currie Hughes as the back rows we dont have the props to have them all in tha pack together imo. King currie bmm would be an interesting back row tho.

Our best player tonight so far.

That pass for Ashton’s try was quality. A try of his own and created two others.

He's class, so composed, great timing and knows how to take a defender out of the defensive line. Currie has been good as well.

Agreed couple assists and a try, great display.
