Aye , in those perfect conditions tonight you would expect the backs to shine wouldn't you

How many tries did they score between them? Lets face it this thread has been set up and has been joined by jealous fans eager to knock a top player that is playing for somebody elses club. Would any super league club not want Matt King in their team? Lets wait until the grounds firm up before we write a aussie international back off as not good enough.

An International back was kept in his place by a young player from Kent, now who do you think would have more experience of playing in wet conditions, a young lad from down south who's only been in the game a few years or a guy who has played a few winter seasons in Melbourne, a climate not renown for being dry?

A good player plays well no matter what the conditions, Penny saw p1$$ poor service all night.

Seemed to me that neither centre had a lot of faith in their wingers.

You've got to be kidding. Never heard his name mentioned once!

On King, give the guy time. It took Lyon about a dozen matches to get into the swing of things and he was playing in a good team.

King owned yet again

It's frustrating to watch him as a wire fan at the moment. But I believe he'll come good once 'the ground firms up', as people say. Even signing for Warrington can't wash that much quality off him!

After last night's game it would be difficult and harsh to assess anyone properly, but well done to quins, played the game as it needed to be played in the weather.

King may not be fully fit....but Clubb owned him last night!

I know unbeliable isn't it. On that dry frim pitch you would think the ball would have been sprayed out to the wingers.

Horses for courses, i think it's generally excepted that in dry conditions you play with your backs, when its wet and slippy (last night was a quagmire) you would tend not to pass to much and lets the forwards do the work. Of course you knew this already, you just wish to act obtusely.

No, what happens is the backs come inside and share the work something the Quins backs did in bucketloads and something that King didn't want to do and when he had the odd chance of passing the ball he made an @rse of it.

Well said.

King is a top class player but he still needs time to settle in. He has had a few knocks too which won't have helped.

He will still prove to be a major force as the games go by.
