I thought he looked hungry and much more confident running his lines. I guess that’s because the team as a whole seemed to be enjoying themselves and feeling buoyant. If he can get back to near his best, that left edge with Wardle <<prays for 2023>> and Ashton could be lethal.

I’d say yes.
Powell loved Michael Shenton. Physically Currie and Shenton I would say are same size.
At the end of the day a centre is primarily one of your main try scorers.
Currie scored a lot of try’s albeit up to his injuries. He can draw a man and pass to his winger. Whether he’s got the ability to pick the right option to pass or go himself remains to be seen.
For me Mata’tuia doesn’t score enough or look like scoring. He’s just physically a strong no nonsense type of player whose going to stick up for his teammates.

Nope- leutele has been offered another contract- this was confirmed by Watson on an interview on Giants tv in relation to this signing. Watson wants to keep them both. As for wardle you can keep him-his attitude is perfect for you at Warrington - thinks he should be playing and doesn’t want to wait to earn the shirt. The irony is if he’d waited a week he’d be playing in a top three side now not a bottom three one.
As regards King- he played busted last week against saints- put his hand up to Continue playing as we were already struggling with only 18 fit players- Jerry was taken off the field with an MCL injury and king took a knock. So yeah he missed a few tackles but it was that or play with a man down. Perhaps that kind of effort for your team mates is exactly what it seems you are missing at wire. Instead of bagging him perhaps you should be looking for that kind of commitment. It’s funny but all I see is more of the same- wire buying a load of names on big money - what you are lacking is team spirit!

Thing is, is that our players have shown over many years now that they don't have that team spirit, for the 3rd coach now, so we need to change them. We've hopefully, this time, identified incoming players with this.

Getting rid of King on his reported big salary is not very easy. Can’t see why Hudds would want to keep him.

And who else would want him on them terms.

Maybe another loan deal with Warrington having to contribute a lot to his salary.

Warrington are still paying some of Cooper’s salary for the rest of this year despite him being a Wigan player.

Interesting that it was jake wardle a poor defending against that kick that led to the try that put KR in front.

You are quite right- you are stuck with paying kings salary whatever happens. No way will hudds pay you for king there’s no value to us in doing so. So you pay him off or take him back but either way you have to pay the salary.
