King has had an interupted start to the season so far and has been up and down but he's shown enough glimpses from what i've seen to suggest he'll be as good a buy as what everyone expected him to be. It's said about alot of players but he will improve as the pitches improve especially if that comes on the back of an injury free run in the team.

As for Carmont he's been great for us so far and miles better then what we thought we were getting. I expected another Vaealiki just on far less money when in reality we've got a centre who has abit of everything and works his knackers off for far less money.

Top stuff.

Jake does seem to lack agility in the tackle at times.

Great try scoring record and very few tries scored down the left hand side but worries me that Darrell Goulding danced around him several times on Monday!

Ryan Atkins stats as a try scoring centre are superb if you look at them. He's made massive yards and got his share of trys.

He'd be in my world cup squad.

As the years roll by plenty of good centres will have Goulding dance round them. A cracking prospect and has held his own in battles with some top draw centres this year.

He has things to work on but the signs are good and need to be from Englans point of view.

Martin Gleeson looks to be finally displaying the form of his Saints days for the wire.

Goulding had a cracking game on monday. Kept an on form Jake Webster quiet.

Luckily for Wire, if Matt King hasn't met expections, then they have been fortunate to have Chris Hicks in their side as he has certainly gone beyond mine.

Ok don't know how true this is (got it off Wilkepedia) but he is a prominant goal kicker and with Briers missing so many why not give him a go. He couldn't do any worse surely (Briers stats - 16 missed goals already).

PS - Talking about Hicks.

he's waiting for the grounds to firm up.....

Whatever money King is or isn't on Warrington are certainly getting better value for their money than Wigan are for the money Karl Pryce is getting, not to mention the "transfer fee" paid to Gloucester.

I have heard that Wigan have given up hope of Pryce ever playing for them.

Was Pryce given a fitness test before Wigan signed him? Perhaps Mr. "I love my own voice" Chairmain could make a statement about Pryce and confirm that he passed a fitness test before Wigan signed him.

I think a lot of the Aussies struggle with the cold & heavy grounds early on it might be a different story if we have a summer this year.
