That's news to us

we obviously have plenty of cap to play with and glad to see promise stuck by to only go after high calibre NRL imports not just anyone can get hold of. However with it looking likely Leeds & Saints have gone / going down under with big shopping budgets is going to make it a lot tougher for us.

Think Warrington is just a tag line for any player potentially available nowadays.

think its just cos we are flying high we get mentioned as in southern papers they only mention if a high class player leaving they want to make it seem like they are going to a good club

I'm from Australia and watch the NRL every week.
He is a very good back rower and should have made it in the New South Wales side over the last few seasons.
The Tigers are crazy for trying to let him go.
He would easily make it in any side in the NRL.

If you guys sign him it will be a great signing for your club.

King started RL at this level pretty late he's got plenty of years left.

Sad to see him go as it would break up our NSW/England backline

He's twice as good as Waterhouse IMO

Waterhouse is a bit passed it but still a solid player.

Where does that notion originate from? He's still ageing like everyone else, so will still slow down like everyone else, and he'll still lose match sharpness like everyone else and he'll still have longer recovery periods than that of most younger players too (in the main).

correct me if i am wrong, but we have been linked with him previously, maybe 4 or 5 years ago. perhaps we have been keeping an eye on him since.....good player though

thought it may have rang a bell but wasnt sure

Has he really been outstanding? Or just solid and dependable in a well performing side?

He's been really good to be honest, what's really impressive about him is that he at times has played a different position every week and looked equally as good. He's been left wing & right wing, right centre, left centre, left second row. He just does it all so easily.

He's been like Meli, but good.

Meli is actually doing really well at centre. He works hard in bringing the ball away, tackles well and is no longer in a position to cost us the game with a stupid mistake every week. Had he played centre all his career, he'd have done far better than he did starring as a dodgy winger.

He's not really is he, he looked drunk staggering into dummy runners the other night trying to con penalties as he was picking the wrong runner. When you had the ball, he threw it at Foster like a hot potato in impossible situations.

He's better than me, but worse than 99% of SL players*

[size=85*excluding Michael Platt.[/size

could have fooled me on Friday.

or does tackling well mean picking the wrong man, being offside 99% of the time and being generally below the standard of everyone else on the pitch (including slug Wellens?)?

Pretty simple really.

He started back in the NRL after leaving the bins at 23 I think maybe later, means his body has had to put up with less top level rugby then someone who's been playing before then.

Good luck to the bloke. Fair play. Earned his corn with us and will go down as one of the best I have witmessed in the P&B.

Could have sulked off after a year, but stayed and proved why Cullen and Moran brought him over originally. Also top marks off the field too.

If true, then congrats Kingy. Good luck.

really?

I think he has been good these last few seasons... but one of the best in P&B?

must be true then

Somebody's written an article, so it's in tablets of stone that it's going to happen.

I'll wait for the official club/player statement, ta very much

www.nrl.com/king-poised-for-nrl- ... fault.aspx Not sure if that's the same article, but it's on the NRL site with quotes, so I'd deem it fairly reliable.

confirmed on sky sports news,kingy goes home to play for the rabbitohs at the end of the season,thanks matt,it's been a pleasure,good luck down under and go out with a treble!

Same article, Roddy

Like I said earlier, I'll wait for King's/the club's statement before saying "brilliant, he's staying/thanks for the memories, Matt"

See ya.

The GDP of the UK just took a shuddering dive. Should be enough cap room for another 11 or 12 signings now you think?

There is one on the rumours thread

Announced on Radio Manchester, but not by the club

If true, sad day

Great player, King....as he's proved in the majority of games in our shirt

Finest hour, hat-trick v Pies CC semi-final, and him just laughing @ RatBoy when RB decided to act the hardman

it came on sky sports news about half hour ago,after a difficult settling in period it has been a pleasure to watch another genuine great of the modern game wear the primrose and blue.a really nice lad as well,i saw him in tesco once and he chatted to my little lad for about 15 minutes and made his day,sad to see him go.
