Leave him where he is, he is good entertainment value. No way can this guy se out his 4 year deal, if he does he should be branded a "thief" and sent to australia on a ship laden with scruvy and oat cakes and branded a convict.

King looked exceptional with the halves isolating him out wide where his size and strength were too much.
Unfortunately, at Warrington he doesn't have Darren Lockyer and Jonathan Thurston.
So from the 18 or whatever games he had for Australia outside Lockyer or Thurston you think he made more of an impact than the near 100 he played for Melbourne scoring over 60 tries?

As much as I dislike Saints, I wouldn't wish this bloke on anyone!
This is a perfect example of the Aussies not being the best players individually but being the best team. King was an average player playing for very good teams (club, international and origin level).
In his 30+ games for us, I haven't seen a single thing from him which made me say 'wow'. For you to move from Lyon, Gidley etc to King, would be a joke.

I agree, leave him at Dire for comedy value, him & moneyman make the perfect imports..
There still paying Joey Johns on that 16 year contract..

Can you please point out where on Earth I have said that ? Or even come close to saying anything like that ?
This forum is beginning to do my nut in, is it any wonder people get fed up.

King is on 2-3 times Matt Gidley's wage, biggest waste of money ever. He was made to look good with stars around him. Gidley and Lyon make the people round them look world class. We havn't needed to pay a world class winger for years as our centres for the last 4/5 seasons would make me look good.

If we could get him to settle I think he would be devastating for Saints out wide but I really dont think we could afford his wages if the rumours are correct. I'm not convinced centre is his best position either ..if we could get him for meli's wages then I'd take him in a second.
