eorl crabtree is 6'6'' and matt king is 6'4'' ?!?!?
my maths says crabtree is taller

Agreed. Its a waste of salary cap having him on the wing next season when we've got Riley, Hicks, Penny and possibly Carney to fill those positions. If he can play centre for Melbourne in the NRL, I don't see why he won't be able to do it in the Super League for Warrington. Grix has done a good job there, but I would give King a run at left centre this season, as soon as we have 2 fit wingers available.

I'd like to see Grix as a Jon Wilkin type player.

At Melbourne Matt King didn`t need to be a creative centre, they had a system where the creative players like Slater,Inglis and Cronk joined the line out wide to create the overlap which would more often than not leave Matt King with a run in or a close range barge over.

He was also used in a similar way to what we are using hm now for which is to get on the end of high kicks which makes sense given his size, NSW and the Australian test team used him in a similar way which is why he only made the wing at test level given his lack of creative centre skils along with his defence which can be a bit ropey at times where he goes charging out of the line.

I agree, its a massive waste of our salary cap to have him stuck out on the wing when we signed him to be the soloution to our left centre problems.



I didn`t realise we had signed Matt Gidley.

I put that one out there just for you Rob. I knew, even with your praise of Bridge t'other day you'd pull me.

Yes
