The only thing I’m confused by is that Watson has done loan swaps for full seasons in the past and he was happy to complete a loan only deal for King this season. It just seems like he expected a permanent swap deal to happen and is unhappy it’s not going to be the case.

I still feel pretty confident that the deal has been done (but that is only based on the number of posters on here / Warriors fans saying its a done deal)

Watson is probably p***ed off with Wire as King was in his recruitment plans for next year and they let him come to Wigan. He's been more than happy to let him go on loan and probably not in his plans for next season, so he needs to play the club card now, which is we are happy for him to come back, but knows full well he isnt as he's off to Wigan. Dont forget also, that Bibby is supposed to have signed for Huddersfield, so theyll have Bibby, Naiqaima (sp) and Cudjoe next season

With Farrell looking like he'll be out for a while, could we bring the King signing forward? A centre would be pretty handy right now.

The deadline for signings has passed.

the king to you guys thing is a weird one, i was hoping that he'd come back and there would be a smoothing over leading in pre season and a blank slate, or him moving on full time, but to be sent out on loan next year, and for it to be announced this early, while he's still on loan somewhere else. following watson's statement, sounds a bit of a dick move in hindsight, and have we done this not realising it would jeopardize any conversation regarding us signing wardle full time?

Just seems like a cluster cuss to me, and makes no sense at all.

I think Wire are hedging their bets.

If Powell doesn’t hit the ground running next season then he’s gone.

A new coach may want to work with King.

That option is open beyond 23 if that happens.

King won’t work with Powell, just like Wardle and Watson won’t work together unless something changes significantly.

I’m still of the opinion Wardle will be at Wigan next year and that has been sorted for some time.

I did wonder if the King move may have jeopardised it due to some deal being struck in the background but that clearly not the case after the latest whinge from Powell.
