Or thane:I absolutely hate this, not Liam Knight as i'd be happy with him here, what i hate is that Burgess wasn't interested in the first place.He's knows him, has played with him, would have known he was available but wasn't interested, now he's playing really well Burgess is suddenly interested in poaching him. My confidence in Burgess has disintegrated very quickly, and he seems deluded and panicky with things he's doing. If we sign Him we should get rid of Musgrove and keep Vaughan. Byrne, Knight, Vaughan, Harrison, Yates, Philbin & Wood looks pretty solid, Crowther as back up possibly as well. Dan Russell i had a good feeling about, then saw him play and oh dear, not his fault but he's more championship level. We need 2 new good props minimum, and Either Play leyland or let him go. And just move on from Russell, and hopefully Lindop and Wrench both stay fit and keep developing. I like king, nothing fancy but is a workhorse centre and makes more yards and gets us on the front foot more than our props at times. And only costing 50k on the cap is a BIG plus, but the fact we haven't re-signed him already suggests he's on his way out. To be fair on Burgess didn't Knight only become available mid season when we had no quota spots left? Whether we should have filled that last spot with Russell is obviously the question we all know the answer to, its left our hands tied - maybe we would have been in a better position to bring Amone in if we had that flexibility of a free spot. Bringing in Russell certainly seems panic stations after losing Bateman & Nicholson, keeping our powder dry would have seemed the better option. King at £50k on the cap works well for his current contract, but I'm sure his next deal will be lower so the benefit is reduced, maybe having Walker / Ashton on £100k cap or Currie on £50k cap may work just as well. I'd keep King, but his salary has to be right and as you say Lindop should be considered first choice centre next year on his preferred side. Wrench I think at this stage can only be considered a back up given his injury issues of the past two years. |

King is only 50k on the cap so it makes sense to have him on it (marquee) while he is with us.
A counter point of view would debate why is King the highest paid player that Wire have produced currently? I've no Idea what his new contract is but he shouldn't be getting paid more than Currie and shouldn't be our 3rd Marquee player for 2026 season. He shouldn't have been rewarded with a new contract. I’d agree Currie is a far better player, I’d argue that his performances dipped a little after his two ACL’s, which has affected his contract value going forward. For the past 18 months / 2 years he has been excellent. King fell lucky with his contract, he was at his peak performances and was in high demand. With hindsight it was the wrong decision to give him a contract of that size, but there would have been plenty of people frustrated at the time had we not retained him. I’d be surprised if he was our 3rd marquee for 2026. | | | |

The King contract just shows how poor we have been in recruitment and retention. You wouldn't have seen Wigan signing him during the last 4 years.

He might not be a marquee player next year, we have no idea who will be. Currie should be our homegrown marquee as he's superb. He was easily man of the match yesterday for me, as said above, he's been brilliant for a few years now and well deserves it  | | |

Just realised we should have Walker back in the next 2-4 weeks, ready for the playoffs push, once he's match fit it will add another dimension in attack for us.
We still badly need a forward though, Our forwards did well yesterday but Hull were way off form.
Next werk will be a big test for us, everyones been battering Salford, 58-0 today, i have one of those bad feelings we'll clock off and take it lightly.
Hopefully we won't and can get some good points against them.
