Anyway, why would you want to go back to your ‘parent’ club where the fans are booing you?

I’ve never booed any player & think it’s a nasty thing to do to anyone.

yep ide like him to stay he defo adds something different

Agreed, scored, created a try for Miski with a great piece of centre play, tackled well and shut down Williams a couple of times- probably his best game for us. Needs more consistency...hopefully this is the start of that.

I still think that wire are trying to force our hand here. There's no rush, he wants to stay so won't be looking elsewhere. Let's call their bluff but be prepared in case they do decide to take him back.

A lot of the booing of a player is generally pantomine booing and no doubt if he went back to Wire they would not still boo him, but it was interesting reading his comments in an interview where he said he didnt know if to be offended that Warrington hadn't prevented him playing against them, certainly seems as though they don't rate him and thought he wouldnt casue them any problems.

I like him Mind you I liked him when he was at Wire

Seems to blow a bit hot and cold but certainly a good player in there. I think if we were to sort his future out, maybe without those sort of concerns in the back of his mind, he would find some consistency

He’ll be going back to Wire. Powell will be gone soon and they bring someone new in. I’ll imagine he’ll go back and return to the player he was. They seem to have a knack for making players crap

If they make him go back, when it’s clear they’ve not wanted him, first game he plays, be it Pre season friendly/league or cup, he should just set his stall out early doors, first touch, run back to his own tryline and volley ball out into stands

Listened to a decent podcast where a footballer did that he was either league 1 or championship, club soon agreed his release after he was trying to score against his own keeper

I wouldn't want to see any player do that to any team. Very unprofessional. Why would any team want to sign someone who has done that?

I’d like to keep King but not at all costs. He’s done well more often than not but has had some average games as well. Karl Fitzpatrick will be seeing it as a game, where he wants to get one over on Wigan, so we just need to stay calm and bide our time. I honestly don’t think they want him but stories saying they do aren’t surprising. No way would he rather be at Wire and I get the feeling the fans giving him stick surprised him and hurt him a bit. It’ll be a strange feeling if he has to go back but he’ll have the last laugh with the big wages he’s on.

If King doesn't want to play for Wire again all he has to do is tell them that.
"I don't want to play for you again as I'm not interested in Warrington."
Fitz will then have to sort out that mess. He will have to tell Powell that King isn't interested and doesn't want to play for him or Warrington again.

If they insist, then King returns and just trains half arsed. No way will he then get selected. So Fitz then has to get a player on a massive wedge who won't be playing off their salary cap.
There's no future in that for Wire.
