Just my opinions unless it's a FACT, in which case it's a fact.

OK fair enough. I should have said I cannot image Toby King being one of the first choice centres for Saints, Leeds, Wigan.

I can assure you I have no personal beef with him in any seated form, nor with Ryhs Evans, Sam Wilde, George King, Russell, Cox, Wheeler, Laithwaite, Ben Evans et al which I have never fancied as top rate players either. It's a broad church the Warrington fan base and I don't expect everyone to agree.

There is only one person in this world I have a beef with and he is a complete and utter nice person I used to work for. But revenge will be served :-)

I can’t recall seeing may centres pick Hall’s pocket like T King did in the semi, and Hall is no mug. Rhys Evans didn’t develop as was expected, I think King has (and has further development in him).

I like Toby King, i think he can still develop alot more and i think he'll be a much more dynamic centre than Atkins.
As for the Hull game i don't think win or lose the final we would slack off. Bodene, M.Brown, Pomeroy,G.King if not Picked, M.Smith,Possibly Atkins all coming in to rest players would do a good job and i don't think we'd be easy pickings for Hull. Gonna be an interesting 3 weeks :-)

King had a belting game against Leeds that's for sure.

I guess it was all those times he bombed chances by not passing that have stuck with me, plus I'm not convinced of his out and out pace. Anyhow time will tell, I hope he goes on to flourish and be an England international (if he doesnt want to limit himself to Ireland).

Yes. I don't understand where you are going with this.

Toby has enough pace. He ran from about half way and went through the defence like butter without a hand on him for his try vs Leeds!

I read we put an offer in for Reece Lyne. Wonder which centre he was to replace?

Give me a centre with good hands, footwork, awareness and intelligence over a centre with pace every time. Obviously, all these attributes would be useful but you can't have eveything.

The likes of Allan Bateman & Ronnie Duane. weren't lightning fast, for example. I don't recall Matt King being lightning quick and in recent years, Shenton has been one of the standout SL centres with very little speed about him.

Give me pace between the ears every time.
