I love the fact that our title winning success this season has been funded (in part) by Wire.

Re: Toby King : Mon Oct 16, 2023 2:25 pm  

Wire when selling there season tickets (which a significantly more expensive than Wigans I may add), have been hailing the return of “home grown star Toby King”

Hilarious really, he was boo’d every time he touched the ball at the HJ.

Sticking with comments on King. He refused to play in the reserves, forgot his passport when playing Catalans away and insisted on bringing his dog to training. Powell didn't like this attitude and he was out. If Wigan thought as much of him as suggested I am surprised they wouldn't pay all his salary when on loan, nor match his contract terms now. He's an average centre, miles behind Wardle yet he is being made out as the next Meninga.

I accept completely that our club is a basket case too.

It’s funny none of them things have been an issue when he’s been in a highly professional environment.

Same with Cooper.

Pushing on an open door with me. Our club is a joke.

Re: Toby King : Mon Oct 16, 2023 2:38 pm  

As a Wire fan i am pleased for the lad.
Obviously ,there were some issues between Mr Powell & the players for us to lose so many of our team over the last couple of years. I just hope his heart doesn't stay in Wigan though otherwise it could be a bad move to bring him back if he doesn't want to be at Warrington. Have there been any moves to keep him at Wigan ?

Yes,funny how he was a bad influence at a club with a great record of wins and he comes to little old Wigan with their problems and everyone loves his attitude and his desire to succeed.
Just cant figure that one out,same goes for Cooper (same club same bad attitude)

Ha !
Seeing as he only counts 50k on your salary cap money isn't the issue for Warrington either?
The only problem with the situation is Warrington

They offered the contract, they employed Darryl Powell, they allowed him to go on loan to Huddersfield, they paid the difference, they allowed him to go to Wigan and paid the difference (whilst indulging Daryll Powell with his Matatuia/Minikin etc Dudson,Maguire, Kasiano signings)

Maybe the club needs to look inward at its behaviour, culture, management set up etc
And the fans need to be asking why they aren't happy to see an International, Grand Final winning centre who gives his all in very game in line with his abilities I.e. Hard working etc. Back at the club, but we're doing cartwheels over signing a crocked inglis or a terrible/average replacements like Matautia or Minikin

Wonder how Briers felt he was treated, Mike Cooper, Josh Charnley, the list goes on and on

What I will say is, he's been a pleasure to have play for us and actually spoke to 2 of Wigans coaches about him 6 weeks ago and they said his attitude (and Wardles) has been outstanding since the day they walked in
Wonder what it is about 6 x time Grand Final Wigan that suddenly gets the best out of players?

PS
Is he the first Warrington player to win championship since 55?

Good stuff. I hope you find the money to keep him (or he accepts less money to stay). See what he values the most in any case.

I agree our club definitely needs to look at our behaviour, culture, management set up etc

For the avoidance of doubt we were not "doing cartwheels" about signing a crocked inglis or a terrible/average replacements (sic) like Matautia or Minikin - far from it.

They all play for the money!

Re: Toby King : Mon Oct 16, 2023 2:47 pm  

I don't understand what all the animation is about on this subject.

Yes - Warrington is a basket case.
Yes - you are all happy you won the GF
Yes - you are big fans of Toby King

I hope you keep your wonder centre and take him off our books. He's not even the best centre in your team
