At the present time, I don't think you can compare King to Hadley.
Hadley came to us because Hull couldn't fit him in their cap and he was always going to go back to Hull and was highly thought of.
King is just well down the pecking order at Wire and can't see that he offers anything more than what we already have.

+He is only 23 years old,he will be one of the best props in SL, give him time.

Really?

He is 23 years old, has 90 super league games under his belt, not to mention representing his country he has been also `highly thought of` since he come through at Hudds as kid and every team in the league was after him.

He is not as far down the pecking order as you make out at Wire either, he has played plenty of games this season to prove that, Moran has bags of money to throw about and is trying to build a championship winning team which for us in not realistic in the present time.

Before writing a signing off I always think about how I felt when we signed Kirmond, a player that could not get anywhere near a Hudds side and then how I felt when we signed Anthony Tupou and just look at how they turned out.

Not just Kirmond - Lynne & Miller, were both in the same boat - and others who have moved on like Amor, Atkins and probably a few more. I'd rather pick players on the way up like them than ones on the way down - and we've seen too many of them!

He told the press after the final that he has signed for us.

The fact that Warrington thought he was good enough to be in the starting 17 for their cup final would imply he is not down their pecking order.

And came up with a try.

Re: George King : Mon Aug 27, 2018 1:15 am  

It'll be interesting to see where he fits in to the current squad.
Will he be a regular starter next year, or an investment for future seasons?
Prop? Second row? Loose?
Any idea how long his contract will be?

Solid player never really done anything wrong just rarely wows.
Sometimes a change in set up brings out the best in a player when they move from somewhere they have gotten into a bit of a rut, he had not rally kicked on as Philbin has this season

Hope this turns into a certain d faffita coming the other way!!!

Hmm, he was in the seventeen but crosby has left, and sita was suspended, and currie has been injured all year.



tbf he's probably played more at an early age than he should have done while we were going through our rough couple of years.

i tell you what he has got though, he's got a wicked short kick off that we don't use enough. Apparently he has a rep for doing it from the academy, you don't see it coming.
