I don't agree that letting George King go was a mistake. He was an average player when released and he remains one.

Partially agree with you regarding George King.

The problem is that the player that we signed to replace him with was Lama Tasi................

George King would have been better than keeping Akauola in my oppinion.
Just remembered we still have Ellis Robson, I hope he gets more game time next year. He's very aggressive and hits hard in attack, he can do a solid job as a prop but better at 2nd row maybe 13.

Ellis Robson / George King .. don’t think there is that much between them tbh.

We should be aiming higher for a big body like Kasiano, Paasi, Satae etc

George King is a lot better than Robson, Robson has shown nothing so far, I'm not saying he won't mind you. King is established as a solid superleague prop and a much, much better player at this stage.

Spot on in the second sentence though. Totally agree, not necessarily a huge unit but we need someone who makes ground and is hard to handle.

I mean in terms of having an impact on the game and making big yards/big tackles etc etc yeah GKing is a lot more established as a player but your getting much of a muchness with them both.

A big mobile prop that can have an impact on the game is what we should be looking for, at the end of the day neither of them two above offer that for me.

Well if King was offered to us now, I wouldn’t need to be offered him twice.

There are many, many props I'd have at Warrington before him though, like Bullock, he's no Hill replacement.

Bone idle. Makes Akuola look like a trojan.
