Rauhihi springs to mind.Comes over here with the tag of world's best forward.Whats happened since then?Turned out a big bag of cack.

Just another failure in the long list of failures in Dire's pathetic recruitement policy in the past 10 years or so.

King is playing under a poop coach who can't get the best from him.

King in our league will excell at wing rather than centre.

When he was at his scoring best he was able to run at a mis-match in size. Her we have him at centre against big centres/2nd row.

Teams are aware of his rep & he's buried more often than not (some of this is due to slow ball from hsi halves.

King cannot defend 1:1

Hey he's been here 12 months we'll have coached a lot of the talent out of him.

Matt King has 2 years left on his contract after this season.

Someone mentioned the training in an above post. When I spoke to Matt he said the Aussies treat training as a 9to5 job. I guess here we think they are tired after a couple of hours

Obviuously we need a balance but then again it works down under

He's not surrounded by the same quality that he was at Melbourne, it's a team game remember.

Either that or he's like Samson and his power is in his hair.

Rubbish. King playing poop is Kings fault and no one elses.



He wont excel at either because he isnt interested though you are better off sticking him on the wing as he just isnt a centre.



Bobbins.

King is an established Aussie player and the mismatch should be in his favour more often than not yet he never seems to outperform anyone he is opposite.



Teams are aware of Gidley yet he isnt cr@p. Teams are aware of Gleeson yet he isnt cr@p. Teams were aware of Lyon / Hape / Vainikolo and yet they werent cr@p. King being cr@p is Kings fault not anyone elses.



Are you sure thats not the fault of the coach, the defender inside of him or the defender outside of him

One of the best signings of the SL era you said, then a few months later you decided you wanted to mona about something then said he was something like the 10th best centre in SL, turns out you were right though after your flipflopping.
