Agreed he played really well - now we need to back it up next week

He had a competent game but did no more than he is expected to do and still came up with a howling mistake at the end. However I hope he takes this as a start point to rebuild his game. On the other hand Kevin Penny would have scored from such a clean break with ease so when is he going to get his chance?

When the game was already won.

So did you shout abuse at him this week then or not?

Oh I see; he made the mistake on on the first tackle in our own 20 on purpose because we were winning? Balloon.

If it had been Penny or Riley (who had a very strong game) people would be crucifying them as usual.

Yes but would Penny have scored King's try?

Possible because he does jump well even though he is rather shorter. And bear in mind, he comes much, much cheaper and isn't on the quota.

And on the other hand; he DEFINITELY would have scored with clear field in front of him and definitely wouldn't have been run down for pace and caught by a second rower.

Yes, we all called him a pubey head.

No, what I'm saying is that he made and error late in the game when the game was already won so it didn't mean much.

However I would be saying different if we lost the game from that error mind you.
