cream floats.....

Whats he been released for?

Its a shame really as he could have been as awesome player but has had a fair few off the field issues that have seen him become a player end up in NL

paul king was never big enough, strong enough, fast enough, skillful enough, smart enough or professional enough to be an awesome player.

You're right on half.

I don't understand the 'guised' sense of glee that some seem to take from this news. Class player in his time.

Having read various posts from the OP, its obvious he has a certain Agenda.You need to be whiter than white to play rugby.

Paul King Professional rugby league player has got it all wrong ??????
How old is he , for the last 15 years or so he has been paid pretty good money to play a game he enjoys .He might not of gone as far in the game as he could of . This may be a lack of coaching during his time at FC .He maybe should of been pulled to aside earlier in his career and read the riot act .
But all in all he has been paid good money to do some thing he enjoys has never had to put a boiler suit on or get up at daft o'clock to go to work .He will more then likely make a living from his RL contacts after he has finished
Yeh he has it all wrong

grow up Darrell, I have no agenda with Paul, it seems his self destruct is functioning perfectly.

an embarassment to the game

Think your being way too harsh Standee. The guys at the end of his career anyway and like many SL players has simply dropped down a league in order to keep playing. No need for the derisory comments imo

What 'self destruct'? The Wakey fans have nothing but good things to say about his time there up until a run of injuries that kept him out of the side. He's coming to the end of his career and has dropped down a league as players often do.

I really don't see how anything he's done would qualify him as being an 'embarrassment to the game'.

Well said Seb.

Spot on Seb.

Senisble post from Seb shocker

Standee has never been one of Kingy's biggest fans!

i just read the replies before reading the link and i half expected to hear he had been caught on cctv rioting or something !.
Jesus,Paul is dropping down a division because i dare say age is catching up to him
Give the guy a break and grow up

What's worse, Kingy going to Haven or G Horne going to Caravan Park?

Is standee a fan of any Hull player past or present?

G Horne isn't remembered for being too drunk / hungover to train or only putting the effort in when a new contract depended on it or for not having a professional sports mans attitude towards his job.

That G Horne has got better as a player since leaving Hull speaks volumes about how is was managed whilst he was one of our players.

I was one of Kings critics in his last few seasons with Hull due to his poor attitude towards his job.

That being said in 2000/2001 he had all the tools required to to become a top class forward. Unfortunately for him he chose beer as his mentor.

My post wasn't a snipe about who drinks the most or who has the better attitude towards their jobs, it was more about the career paths of both players; one who is dropping down a division to gain longevity and another who is dropping down a club or two to increase his SL status. And for your information - I have seen the latter wasted more times than the former.

I ain't got a problem with Kingy as such but Whitehaven FFS?

Has he ever been there? It rains everyday, even on dry days it still rains. Everything is grey, the sky, the sea, the buildings - everybloodything is grey. If you spot some colour, it's like that little girl in the red coat in Schindler's List, they shouldn't be there, warn them away, something bad is bound to happen to them.

Even Batley would be preferrable to Whitehaven

Indeed, but he's a Hull lad so he's a "legend" or some such other garbage, if he'd have put half the effort into training as he did to drinking he could have been one of the best props we'd seen at FC in many years.

Him and two bobs are the biggest wasted talents I've seen in an FC shirt.

but based on his performance yesterday (which I witnessed), he wasn't good enough/fit enough for a team playing at Championship level. He did 2 15 minute spells at championship 1 level and was puffing a fair bit after both spells.

I've never seen or heard anyone refer to King as a legend. He could have been, but didn't make the most of his undoubted talent. He's not the first, and he won't be the last. He's not an embarrassment to the game though, he's just a decent player who could have been much, much better than that.

There are a fair few on this very forum wh ohave given King the "legend" status.
