I've said for ages.....Paul King is an offload master....He may not break through many tackles but he always looks to keep the ball alive. He has an 80% success rate too IMO. Most forwards look to plod around the pitch....THEY AREN'T supposed to be flamboyant or move like whippets.....Kingy, for me. is Mr Hull FC. It will be a sad day when the club 'offloads him'
Great game yesterday and Kingy played his part in it!

I've heard that he has been telling people who he knows that he is leaving at the end of the season.

Funnily enough, I said similar last night. Either it's because it was the derby, or I'm starting to believe he's on his way, as that was the sort of form he normally reserves for earning a new contract.

Sorry Chewie but that is cack....he has taken the pi$$ with the club for ages.

We all have differing views......I see Kingy as an 'Old School player'.....Likes his life outside the game as well as playing it, He seems not to like the 'added politics and buisness' that some like to poison our sport with. It is a game afterall!!!

But the game has moved on now and you cant do that nowadays.....he is playing for his future...not at Hull but elsewhere.

Thought he was behind Moa and Cordoba in performance terms.

Yip..........agree on that.

There's a lot to like about Paul King, he's clearly an 'old-school' character, loves the club and his big hits can be great (when they come off) but if we want to improve as a team he's exactly the kind of player we don't need IMO and I hope this season is his last with us.

Sam Moa for me soon as he got cut open and needed bandaged up he came back as a rabid rampaging prop forward what kr couldnt handle !!

oh yeah we might not sign him as we might not have quota space. Agar would rather resign a average over the hill cusack then take a punt on a guy with so much potential and youth on his side and desire to please

Moa's impact was something I haven't seen in a Hull shirt for many a year.

Cordoba did well last night, but having watched the game in TV, he made a lot of errors at key times.

True about Cordoba although on another day he would have had 2 penalties for ball stripping.

Can't agree about King being anywhere near MOTM. Cordoba and Moa were the 2 best props and off the top of my head, Raynor, Hall, Manu, Radford, Tansey, Calderwood, Burnett and Berrigan all had better games.

Agree with that, it seems to have been overlooked by a few. Had a decent game, but I don't think as good as is being suggested.

Indeed not, but a swallow certainly makes your day !!

Agreed. Didnt even notice King if im being honest.

But did you spend all the game watching his every move, so you could come on here and do some Paul King Cheerleading?

A lof of the side had a much improved performance, but starting from such a low base it's hardly a laudable achievement.

I think thats the main point here. We were coming from such a low after recent performances that our performance could hardly have been worse.

However every improvement has to start somewhere and I would rather be positive and hope this is a mini kick start with the players showing at least some passion for the shirt.

Im prepared to hit a new low in the next game!!

I think it would be foolish not to prepare for the worst....

I am slightly more positive.

Im always positive, but prepare for the worst!!

With Hudds looking to cement their status as one of the best emerging teams, I expect a hammering on Friday.

They are playing very well at the moment and a victory does look unlikely but if we put the effort and variation into our game like we showed on Saturday then it could be an entertaining match.

I was talking to his cousin (Gavin) before Saturdays game and he told me Paul was on fire and was gonna give it everything. Apparently he was gonna target Vella (something he had heard, that Vella had said about him). Also he has been offered a really good deal to go to Wakey, but wants to stay at Hull!

I totally agree... i will be really sad if he goes.
