This is true, especially the 'possibility of improvement', also Wilzay is right, a 'solid grafter'.
He was never going to break any pots but used better, we could have got more from King.
Playing him off the bench was a waste of a substitute. He was never going to come on and change a game.
James Hassan at Salford was the same, came with some great stats but ended up at Wakey.
Unfortunately in his stint with us, he again was played off the bench and that wasn't his game.
Nick Scruton reminds me of what King and Hassan are, they need to start the game and play big minutes, because what you get in the first minute, you'll get in the last minute.

King is an 80 minutes work horse who runs great lines, defends well and should always have been starting. I agree he has never been used correctly at Wakey.

Correct and this is when the coach should earn his corn ,turning these so-called average players into a fighting forced be reckoned with and then sprinkled with a bit of quality in the playing department to guide them around .A lot harder to get average players playing at the top of their game week in week out than supposedly top draw players who have the class in bucket loads.From what I’ve seen so far since the restart our coach is finding it the hardest to get the best out of our players compared to the teams around us .Take that as you will ,is the coach not good enough to get the best out of the players or are the players simply not listening to him ,bit of both or something else entirely.whatever the problem is ,it would be nice to be going into next season not hoping Toronto are in the league as a safety net for us ,as the more I see the teams around us performing as they are the more I worry .

Why do Wakefield sign most of the players we do?

Not sure of the rolling eyes as my post was in made from the context of poptart's post, and not in anyway a slur on the signing or the ability of King HTH, I'm not sure why Wakefield signed George King perhaps you have a theory yourself which you'd like to share on here.

Re: Chester must go now : Fri Sep 04, 2020 6:01 pm  

George King in his last 3 seasons at Warrington started 4 games and was a substitute 48 times. Just let that sink in...

The experts on here then use it as yet another way to have a dig at Chester...you couldn’t make it up...

I was talking - which I thought was obvious - about the players that we can afford....
As has been stated, Warrington decided to release him and he ends up here....
Hope that clears it up for you.

He was down the pecking order at Wire and they obviously thought they could use that bench spot better.
What I'm saying is that HKR will get more from him than Wakefield have.
Let that sink in...

Re: Chester must go now : Fri Sep 04, 2020 6:32 pm  

We have to accept that until the club realise he is costing them money in lost revenue he is going nowhere. It is not actually winning or losing but the manner in which we play the games. This is either down to the team not following his game plan or Chester not having a game plan.

He wasn’t down the pecking order in 2016 when he made 27 appearances ALL from the bench! That was under the same coach he’ll be playing for next season...let that sink in....
