It does look from the outside that we don't appear to be in a rush to re sign him.

It seems to be looking that way, the reason I mentioned his name earlier was because the fella I was with on Sunday said it was rumoured he will be at Leeds next year, as always only a rumour though.

Leeds academy must be struggling then.

If I was picking the team I would add him to the team sheet, I would put his name down second or third for the forwards

Re: George king : Wed May 09, 2018 11:43 pm  

I heard the same several weeks ago about the switch to Leeds. The reason I was given was that he wanted to win trophies and he thinks Leeds gives him a better chance.

Gone over me head this one squire, why must Leeds academy be struggling, unless you think Arona's not good enough for Leeds.

No what you heard was standard terrace gossip made up by people who don’t know what they are on about to fill the gaps left by a silent club and player. You’re whole statement is a cliche I mean Leeds it’s always Leeds isn’t it, players with the odd exception ie they are exceptional go where the money and the security is is. I like Arona but exceptional he isn’t, he’s a big fish here and in my experience that alone is worth a lot more than ‘potential’ trophies or a pot of gold.

I like Arona. He's been on the same improvement curve as Bill Tupou over the last 3 years.
On the pitch he's head and shoulders above King and, all other things being equal, I would much prefer to keep hold.

Re: George king : Thu May 10, 2018 7:30 am  

I also am a big Arona fan, and does a lot of work that goes unnoticed

That said, I agree with the adage that there is nobody bigger than the club.

It may even be that we are also looking to free up a quota spot to strengthen the squash in another position for 2019.

I'd keep him if we can. I like him.
But if he wants to go I wouldn't be breaking the bank to keep him. The club can't do that yet.
