Never heard you criticise a Wakey player before. Personally I’m not to fussed - there are a lot of players kicking about who are as good a Arona.

Don’t see him as lazy but don’t think he creates much either. Were he a British player I’m not sure he’d get as many plaudits.

Don’t know anything about this King lad but these English big club rejects always seem to do well for us.

That said I like Arona enough to want him to stay if possible.

Been watching Normy and Underbank this afternoon (George King apparently is coach at Underbank) and was told the same by a bloke stood near me. We shall see. Would'nt be rugby league without a decent rumour would it.

Maybe it's because there's another player who he has a certain attachment to who plays in the same position?

Regarding re signing Arona. Its all balancing the books, would you have Arona and another cheaper english player, or a top quality halfback and G King (as an example)?

I like Arona personally, but he isn't irreplaceable. The team is a sum of its parts, not any one individual.

We have Finn and Kirmond to consider. There’s your prize half back.

I like Arona, can cover prop at a push. Very solid and consistent performer every game. Hope we keep him.

So do I, but maybe it's out of our hands unfortunately.

Re: George king : Sun Jun 10, 2018 10:20 am  

My take on it for what its worth:

I would be happy with King, from what I have seen he looks a solid SL player.

I would keep Arona if at all possible but if he (his agent) is asking too much or he has a big offer elsewhere then I would be disappointed to see him go but would understand why the club wouldn't break the bank for him.

Finn is a tough one, he has been great for us since he signed but the past few games he has played he has looked past it but is that due to him carrying an injury? The guy has a great rugby brain and I would be looking at keeping him at the club possibly in a player coach role if the price is right.

Kirmond i did think previousley that his performances were declining but he has been great in the past couple of games and also he is great around the club. I think I would offer him another year.

Agree with what you say in the above and also with regard to Finn, he didn't have much of an out of season break as he was involved in the World Cup and that is why, I feel, that he has currently gone away in order to recharge the batteries. Us old uns need our rest at sometime.
