Pipe Down

Happy for him, played really well by the sounds of it.

excellent today as were all the team!! Well done lads, about time!

Excellent team spirit today

takes a big man to come back and perform after all the **** that has been thrown at him well done matt king

The guy played really well today, I'm really happy for him that he had a good game. You could see the relief in his face when he scored.

He has a lot of potential and if he is a confidance player then today cant have hurt and hopefully he will kick on from here.

did well today...bit more pace and he`d av waltzed down the wing when he intercepted but still he did well and tackled well in good all round team effort

thought he was really good today, as was all the team, actually thought briers was quality from the bench, lit the game up and also pulled off try saving tackle, thought team spirit was key today, cmon the wire

Amazing what a bit of confidence can do.

Agreed he played really well - now we need to back it up next week

MOM for me

He had a competent game but did no more than he is expected to do and still came up with a howling mistake at the end. However I hope he takes this as a start point to rebuild his game. On the other hand Kevin Penny would have scored from such a clean break with ease so when is he going to get his chance?

When the game was already won.

So did you shout abuse at him this week then or not?

Oh I see; he made the mistake on on the first tackle in our own 20 on purpose because we were winning? Balloon.

If it had been Penny or Riley (who had a very strong game) people would be crucifying them as usual.

Yes but would Penny have scored King's try?

Possible because he does jump well even though he is rather shorter. And bear in mind, he comes much, much cheaper and isn't on the quota.

And on the other hand; he DEFINITELY would have scored with clear field in front of him and definitely wouldn't have been run down for pace and caught by a second rower.

Yes, we all called him a pubey head.

No, what I'm saying is that he made and error late in the game when the game was already won so it didn't mean much.

However I would be saying different if we lost the game from that error mind you.

Don't get me wrong; I honestly hope he kicks from here but he is far from the superstar player we thought we were getting. His running style is all wrong though; his body position is far too upright into the collision and thus he is always likely to cough the ball up when an opponent gets their shoulder under the ball.

King is 6ft 4 and caught it above his head with some decent pressure on him, not sure Penny would have been able to get it. Just making the point that they have advantages in completely different areas...

One of Kings best games for us today anyway, lets hope he can keep it up and keep improving every week.

It was good enough for Bellamy and Melbourne, that will suffice for me.

I thought we had established the fact that just because something or someone works in Australia it doesn't necessarily work over here.

Agreed but even that is better than his previous less than average performance's. Nice to see him score the try, hopefully we'll use that tactic more.
