He has great pace, evasive ability and footwork, and can make space for his winger but as you say his defence lets him down. Presumably why he was dropped by Burgess after round 8 (or was that another injury?).
He is into his 6th season following debut and has played 38 games. This year is a big one for him to cement a place and a new contract. |

In Wrench and Lindop, we have two centres with vast potential. Here's hoping that they can both stay fit and keep progressing, because if they fulfil that potential they could form an outstanding centre partnership for years to come. |

The issue with signing Sneyd is that we will have three specialist scrum halves, who have no versatility. If Sneyd came cheap this wouldn't be an issue, but I imagine he'll take up a bit of valuable cap space. I think he'd be a solid addition, and would even go as far as saying I'd have taken Sneyd over Leyland (at the time we signed him) for a year or two while we bring Hayes through. However, we've made our signings, and I was actually quite impressed with Leyland on debut.

Ashton is definitely faster than him, is Dufty the other? |

We're not in for Sneyd, i can't see that what so ever. We've got Hayes and Leyland with Ratchford as back up. Sneyd isn't needed.
Talking of Ratchford, has anyone heard how he's doing after his head knock on Friday?

Ratchford looks fine in recent training photos released by the club. Good to see. |

I seem to remember Briers saying (admittedly when Wrench was younger and before injuries) that Wrench was faster than Ashton over 100m from a standing start? Whereas Ashton is faster hitting the ball running, or something to that effect? Or maybe it was the other way round.
I'd have to try and google it. Think it was in the guardian a few years back. |

Dufty and Wrench would beat Ashton over 50m from a standing start. They both have amazing acceleration. Ashton is no slouch to begin with but he's only really super rapid once he's at full speed because he's more of a rangy runner with a longer stride. We played Wigan away about 3 years ago and Ashton got an intercept. Before he'd got into full flight Jai Field had turned round from running forward and caught him because of how quick he is off the mark. |

No way will he be offered anywhere near his current exorbitant wage on his existing contract at Wire.
A lot will depend on whether Wrench can stay fit, has improved his defence and forces his way into the starting 13.
With Lindop on the horizon too, it maybe King will not be offered a deal that he finds acceptable and moves elsewhere? |
