He'll be back lugging bins when he goes back.

Apparently King was abusing all the Wires fans at the Quins game yesterday, making hand gestures to them etc.



Would I sign him? No thanks.

Aye, seems to have let it all get to him. Cant see him being here 4 years. He had some muscle head have a go at him a few month back in stockton heath, all because a young lady decided to flirt with kingy wig, and her boyfriend saw her so decided to inform kingy wig he was a winker. Poor lad had done nothign btu have a young filly throw herself at him, ended up with auld wigster getting thrown out the bar aswell. Seem's he isnt having the best of times, and the weather means wearing his flip flops is a no go most the time to. Pressue on his wig since day one, I actually feel for him as he is a nice smiley happy chappy.

If we could get him at a reasonable price then I'd be in for him tomorrow. All he needs is some motivation and getting flogged week in week out is not motivation. He's a class player who hasn't adjusted to the game over here because of the poor coaching his team has received.

Rumour of Meli not coming back to [iThe S[/i and Matt King coming over to us lol. It's the kind of deal Mr Big can pull off.

KIng wouldn't come to us on perhaps a quarter of his wages at best. He'll see out another two years at wire and retire a very rich man, because with this form he won't get a NRL spot.

Unless he issues an unreserved apology to the Wire fans in the next few days, he may not see out the end of the week, let alone the next 2 years.

me sons just phoned me and said its been mentioned on the radio about matt king coming here to replace meli..

On Radio Manchester's phone - in, people were ringing up to support him. They said one guy in particular gave him far worse abuse than the finger gesture he was allegedly to have used back to him.

That was a Saints fan ringing up saying he had heard a rumour that he was coming to us and that Meli was staying over in aus. Rumours soon spread.

Thats a variation on the rumour i started re Melis absence being a conspiracy theory to enable us to sign Lyon after the WCC.

Sorry I was just on my way out and didn't have time to write a long answer!



I just think for the wage he would want it would use up to big a part of our salary cap for a player who is far from at his best at the moment and from what I have see doesn't seem to show the brilliance often enough to make him worth the risk.



I would rather we used the money on developing our own players personally.

Maybe we could offer Meli in a swap deal where we keep paying Meli his wages and Dire get to pay King

I'm off the impression the King was always a centre in club rugby. There was a period, at the end of last season, following his ropey start, where he seemed to have picked up and was scoring tries and making an impact(although that seems to have dissappeared again).



However, this impact appears to be based on straight line running onto good distribution rather than the more creative approach of a Matt Gidley or Martin Gleeson, and given that our distribution out wide (Pryce) isn't a forte, I was suggest that he'd continue to struggle to find form at saints.



Plus, he does look ropey in defence.



So no, I wouldn't sign him. Not as a centre anyways.

There is some underlying problem with Matt King. He hasnt become a bad player overnight so one has to assume he his homesick or not happy.



He was bona fide world class during his melbourne days and this wasnt down to the players around him

Why is it that people think that you just have to divert money towards young players and suddenly you start bringing through quality?

It's kind of a screwed up Wigan principle.



Wigan are: If it costs us a lot of money then it's obviously going to win us stuff.



Others are: If it is young and costs us a lot fo money then it is obviously going to win us stuff.

No I think we work on a salary cap and to pay the wages he would probably want would take up a lot of money that could be used elsewhere for players who would hopefully perform as well - or better - and would probably benefit the club a lot more in the future.



However the money involved is just part of the reason I wouldn't want him, I am not convinced he is good enough at all regardless of cost.

I reckon he's not the highest paid player at Warrinton, never mind SL.

Really? Can you memo Craig Bellamy and get him to rectify his teamsheets and list him as a winger.

Hard to argue with that answer. Littler should pay Salford subs to play.



King would be a good signing given the right deal. Maybe a loan spell for the rest of his contract paying half his wages.



Warringtons problems are not caused by King he is just a scapegoat.

Matt King in the correct team would be a quality signing.

Same as Fielden?
