I don't want to sound like a Matt King sympathiser, but if we are prepared to defend the team with the line 'it was only the first game', then surely King deserves similar.
Admittedly, this is a big year for the guy. His performances have got to improve, otherwise he will deservedly get stick from the public, but one game at Saints isn't the time to totally give up on him.
Must admit though, I'd seriously be thinking of giving him an extended run on the wing just as a possible way of restoring obvious confidence loss.
