I seem to recall he was playing the next game.

I'd hardly call that an injury of 'seriousness' as you put it.

Any big connection to the head on the rugby league field is serious. Especially a swinging arm out of no-where.

The initial connection was below the head. Like most head high tackles. I seem to remember Briers blatent slap in Carmonts face towards the end of the first half that didn't even get a penalty. Then again Carmont didn't make a big deal out of the situation and was too busy trying to be a team player and get on with the game.

The initial connection is pretty irrelevant considering that King was knocked out before he hit the ground due to the impact of the swinging arm. And yes Carmount carried on like good solider he is, because it was a slap, not a head high shot. So its pretty irrelevant comparing the two incidents. Mathers fully deserved to be sent from the field of play and receive his ban.

Well that is your conclusion on the situation, but IMO this was not the case.

We'll just have to agree to disagree, if you can accept that.

[quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]

I can, and i do accept your opinion on it pal. Rather than having a slanging match and lowering to petty foul words.

But what i don't undestand, is your judgement that King over-dramatised the situation if you will. Yes, i do agree he went down like a sack of spuds.
I just don't see how he dramatised it, thats all.

On the whole, the arrival of Matt has been disappionting, i for one would of expected more. But their are mainly aussies stars at the moment over here who are also not up to scratch on form. Its only because of his high status and stature of the Rugby League player he is, that he is seen as a flop already. Which pretty unfair at my estimates.

King has 4 years at warrington, he is still settling in i think. And
I'm sure things will turn good for him soon enough.

Good post, this poster demonstrates that not all Wire fans are cut from the same rag cloth.

We all hope for the sake of Warrington that he gets better, and over time he may well do. As i have said before though to be successful IMO he needs to vastly improve his impact, he seems physically very weak by comparison to many other Superleague players, particularly those in opposition positions to him.

Cheers matey :) sig worthy lol, just my general thoughts about King as a whole, glad to have discussions rather than bickering anyway.

Ayee he does seem alot slimmer than i imagined he would be, he doesn't seem as bulky as other centres in the sl. With once being a winger, a few season a go, i'm surprised he doesn't have more bulk on him being a centre now.
