Tom Forber is highly rated at Wigan, can’t see that lot letting him leave.. especially to a Grand Final rival.

Know nothing of him, but I guess they also rate O’Neil and Leeming, 3 hookers is probably 1 too many for an aspiring youngster - maybe another Nicholson scenario?

I agree, but a a modern day right centre where defending and yardage is important, he does a good job at the right price.. ….. Reading that back is a depressing tbh, no wonder there’s plenty of disillusionment knocking about.

I like a centre with presence. They attract attention and that can give a winger that half a yard to get away.

King has presence, and having a stinking game v Leigh doesn’t suddenly turn him into a bad player.

Absolutely I’d consider dropping him for last week, however in Sam I trust.

Should he play, I fully expect him to be in skys mom short list.

I would not be surprised to see most of our tries come through King’s hands.

Yeah it is depressing isn't it?

My comments were not based on 1 game, albeit it was a terrible performance. If he was on "normal" money I wouldn't feel as animated, but he's one of our best paid players and his performances do not justify that remuneration (in my view).

His stats are pretty average. He neither has a lot of assists nor is he a strike centre. Since we have stopped kicking highballs to him he has not been as potent.

Perhaps it is also the fault of our kicking duo that King isn't making the most of the high ball. How about kicks closer to the post or up in the air from the half backs so centre & winger could challenge for the ball? It would also make Thewlis's kicks easier.

In 2026, I'd be delighted if our first choice backs were...

CTW
Ashton Lindop Wrench Thewlis
Hayes ANOther (or Williams).

Think Dufty and Williams are contracted to end of 2026. By the start of 2027 season CTW & Lindop will be 20/21 so fits quite nicely.
