Didn't King leave Rovers to be closer to family in West Yorkshire?

King left rovers due to not getting game time, he does have family back in west you are right however he apparently wanted to stay if gametime was there but it wasn't obviously at rovers. Id take him as 1st choice then Bullock if possible. Cant really think of too many other UK middles? Maybe Bienek but im never a fan of bringing back former players

No thanks to George King.
Unless they’re a real standout player then I wouldn’t want anyone ex kr.

Liam Byrne would do nicely.

Just seen this on Twitter.

Aydin hasn't gone too badly.

Think King would be a good signing, sure he signed for Hudds ages ago though, although not been announced yet

Still hoping for Sutton or Bateman, probably sign Ruan.

Can't see it happening, but I'd like to sign Sutton/Byrne and Bullock, release Sao, and sign an overseas centre.

Agree that Aydin has gone well but think king is very similiar style player and do we need another ex kr squad player.
Thought Myler referred to 2 big pieces of his jigsaw left.
One being Cust.
A 2nd player like Byrne that’s played regular for Wigan’s first team or Sutton would be a much better.
Fingers crossed.

Think King is a really good prop, probably Rovers best prop the last few seasons (apart from this one), not sure what happened this year.


Don't see the relevance to another ex Rovers player, of they improve us, I'd sign them no matter where they cone from.

I hope I wrong but don't think it will be one more big signing, was that quoted?

Pretty certain King has signed for Huddersfield.

'Final couple pieces of the puzzle' were the words Myler alluded to, assuming that Cust was one of those.

As mentioned above, the dream scenario would be moving Sao on and bring Bryne and Bullock in, with the quota being used on Leutele.

Agree, although I'd go for a slightly younger centre, someone like Te Where.
