He is with us until the end of 2025. 2 more seasons.

My view is that King is a good solid centre. He's not world class. But he will be a big improvement on our two starting centres this year who have quite frankly been disappointing. Centre is certainly our biggest weak spot this year.

How standards have dropped when some are glad that a bang average centre is coming back.. correct he is better than the 2 we have at the moment but not by a great deal

The arguments for me are quite simple.

Is he better than what we have currently? Yes

Is he better than the majority that is out there at the moment? For me yes he is holding down a starting centre position for the team that for me is going to top the league, he has is failings but I don't see many better options. Currently I don't see Wrench, or Bruines ahead of him, maybe one day although I think Wrench is destined for the wing.

The whole marque argument is a non starter, the only slot he is taking up is the club fed slot, and what would you rather do reduce the impact of Walkers or Philbins wages.

It's easy for me take him back see out his contract if he plays great awesome if not he's not benefitting one or our direct rivals like he has this year.

I think we should hope that Big Sam brings a big stick & knocks some of our wage stealers into rugby players.

It would have to be a bloody big stick
