It's frustrating to watch him as a wire fan at the moment. But I believe he'll come good once 'the ground firms up', as people say. Even signing for Warrington can't wash that much quality off him!

After last night's game it would be difficult and harsh to assess anyone properly, but well done to quins, played the game as it needed to be played in the weather.

King may not be fully fit....but Clubb owned him last night!

I know unbeliable isn't it. On that dry frim pitch you would think the ball would have been sprayed out to the wingers.

If he only plays well in the dry then why buy him?

Horses for courses, i think it's generally excepted that in dry conditions you play with your backs, when its wet and slippy (last night was a quagmire) you would tend not to pass to much and lets the forwards do the work. Of course you knew this already, you just wish to act obtusely.

No, what happens is the backs come inside and share the work something the Quins backs did in bucketloads and something that King didn't want to do and when he had the odd chance of passing the ball he made an @rse of it.

Well said.

King is a top class player but he still needs time to settle in. He has had a few knocks too which won't have helped.

He will still prove to be a major force as the games go by.

Matt King is one of the best players in the game.


End of!!!


The fact that he taking money out of the British game and keeping a potential Home country player out is another story.

Would be interesting to compare Tony Clubb's pay packet to that of Matt King.
